Yes.
Linny,
I had lumpectomies in each breast in 2009. After chemo, I then had radiation to both breasts at the same time. They were careful to map out (what I called) a "demilitarized zone" between my breasts, so there was no overlap in the radiation.
I know others on this board have had lumpectomy and radiation in one breast, then do it all over again later when they've had a recurrence in the other breast.
Hope that helps?

Is correct....II just finished rads again, for a recurrence...one area this time, was also an area that had previously been radiated...it was radiated this time for only 10 of the 25 treatments.....but first go round of rads, both breasts cab be radiated as Traci said...
Wishing you the best,,,

I've had radiation twice but
I've had radiation twice but only once was for IBC. In 1948 when I was about 1 1/2 y/o my tonsils were taken out. Back thewn for small children who had tonsikkls out to do radiation to the area to prevent them from growing back. Well - my tonsils grew back anyway. I've been told that hat nasty rads of the time may have contributated to my IBC, for which IK had 25 rads.

I had radiation 2x on my tailbone, hips and pelvic region. The ro said it was okay when I asked this same question. She said it depends on how much radiation you have the first time around. However, I can now have it again to that area.0 -

Thanks for this info. I had no idea you could have rads in the same place twice.0
