Hi,
Just curious. I recently completed 33 radiation treatments, 7 of which were "boosts." My question: What factors determine how many radiation treatments and "boosts" one will receive? The reason I ask is because a woman in my support group and I have almost identical pathology reports (tumor size, characteristics, etc). We are also the same age. She also has 33 radiation treatments, but only 4 are "boosts." Also, are the amount of "boost" treatments determined at all by the size of the margins after lumpectomy, which we both had?
Thank you.
