I had radiation on my left side in 2004, and on my right side in 2007/early 2008. It was very similar to the first time both in application and side effects, with the notable exception that the fatigue is extreme and they don't know if it will ever get any better. Still, for me, a small price to pay to be here! Hope more people chime in, but my thought is to definitely go for it. Having said that, I realize that my re-radiation was to a different spot so treatment pains, etc will likely be different. Hugs
