Not flunking rads.....out of school suspension

My sister told me to look at boosts as insurance, like a pair of suspenders worn in addition to a belt....I told her I never liked that look, LOL .
Starting my 3 day suspension, I guess I am going to "summer school" before I am a rad grad,
(and here I thought I was an overachiever),

I would do as your onc suggests. They know what they are doing and are trying not to make things worse. When I was having rads I was told that sometimes they have to wait a week or 2 because someone is burning too much. The boosts are more focused and aimed at only the surgery site. You are almost at the end so make sure you get your "diploma"!

Your rad oncologist knows best....Let your breast "rest" for a few days...even though you're missing a few days, you're still "cooking".....I was told the "cooking" continues for about two weeks when rads are completed....I know it must be so painful and I am so sorry for that...but you have light at the end of the tunnel....on your way to recovering your health....
We'll all cheer when you graduate! Your "suspension" won't appear on your grade transcripts....lol

OMG Jennifer you crack meMarcia527 said:When I went through rads I
When I went through rads I got cooked too well done and had to take two weeks off to heal. I'd go in every couple of days and he'd check the site. After two weeks it was finally healed enough and continued to finish rads.
OMG Jennifer you crack me up. At least you still got your good sense of humor about you. I'm sure glad the weekend is here because my left girl can sure use the rest. I'll wait for you at recess when you return to school. We got some life to live girlfriend....
Hugs,
