radiation question - how was it set up for you?

I can't tell from the replies to this post if it's true or not, but I've assumed that molds were for those with breasts. I got rads at a local cancer center, no mold, post mastectomy. I know of others who had molds at the same center but they'd had lumpectomies. It could also be to do with amount of tissue available to shift about, on the chest - whether breasts or just generous amounts of tissue. I assumed, but never confirmed, that once my tattoos were lined up properly, there wasn't much to move and that's why no mold for me. If I'd had breasts, they could have shifted with the smallest movement or simply with muscle tightening. But now I'm curious to know if that was correct reasoning.
