I have breast cancer and recently completed chemotherapy. I have surgery for a lumpectomy in a couple weeks. Following that I will have radiation therapy. I would like to hear from anyone who has had breast cancer radiation to know what to expect as far as side effects and how it compares to chemotherapy side effects. I’m told I will have 16 to 23 treatments, that will be 5 days a week Monday through Friday so it will last about a month. Thanks for your input.

Julie Rudman recently asked for advice on how to navigate breast cancer with kids for an upcoming podcast she's a part of. I wanted to share the answers I gave to her here as well, in case anyone else would find them useful. Mamas, you are stronger than you ever thought possible. Sending healing vibes to you all!

Hi! For those of you that have problems with painful sex, especially due to a lack of estrogen (I had a hysterectomy at 37 years old and loosing all of that Estrogen caused a lot of dryness and vaginal pain with sex). I wanted to share info on the Mona Lisa Procedure. It helps to remove stenotic (badly scarred) tissue in the vagina. This scarred tissue makes sex very painful.
