S2E2: Radiation Therapy

Explicit

Let’s talk about radiation and how everyone, from your doctors to women in the support groups, says this treatment is “easier” than chemotherapy. Shauna felt she was being lied to, while Rosalina felt burned out from trying to get to the finishing line of completing treatment.

At the beginning of the episode, we provide education on what radiation therapy is, why it was recommended for our treatment plan, and what the process is. Rosalina and Shauna received external beam radiation, the most common type of radiation for breast cancer.

Rosalina completed radiation on November 16 and Shauna on December 1, 2021.
