Re: Radiation Therapy
Our usual breast treatment is 180 cGy (rads) per day to a total of 4680-5040
cGy. The setup time takes about ten minutes but the actual exposure time is
more like 10 sec. Side effects are usually minimal but she should report
anything to the therapists or nurses, such as redness, soreness, etc.
