So it's finally over with my last chemo on April 3.My radiotherapy starts in first week of May & they'll be doing my chest wall & my axillary lyymphnodes.My previous doc had removed only 7 nodes & they were all positive,thus the treatment to my lymphnodes.The doc says I have a 50 % chance of developing lymphedema post radiotherapy,but I'll have to take things as they come.Too bad I didn't come directly to this hospital so that at least I could have a clearance as far as my lymphnodes were concerned.But I guess 7 positive nodes are sufficient reason to apply the radiotherapy there.Anybody had the experience?Ps.share.
