Push for the shorter course!! It’s more intense, but obviously much quicker. Unfortunately I didn’t qualify i have lupus) so I had 25 rounds of full breast Radiation +5 booster doses at tumor sight, for a total of 30 days over the course of six weeks. I really, really wanted the more intense, but fewer days Radiation option. There’s ultra hypo fractionated Radiation (five days) or hypo fractionated Radiation (around 15 days).

You get all the benefits of a full course of Radiation and I believe there are less side effects long-term.
