Where to get radiation therapy in Patiala after mastectomy?

Hello,

Yes, after mastectomy and chemotherapy, radiation therapy is commonly considered in breast cancer depending on the final pathology, tumour size, lymph-node involvement, margins, and other factors. The radiation oncologist should review your surgery and chemotherapy records before deciding the radiation plan.

What we would suggest

• Manipal Hospital, Patiala
• Patiala Heart Institute, Patiala
• Rajindra Hospital, Sangrur Road, Patiala
• Amar Hospital, Bank Colony, Patiala
• Park Hospital Patiala
• Neelam Hospital , Rajpura

What to take for the radiation consultation

Please carry:

• Mastectomy operation/discharge summary

• Complete biopsy and histopathology report

• Immunohistochemistry report, including ER, PR and HER2 status

• Lymph-node pathology report, if lymph nodes were removed

• Chemotherapy records and the names of medicines received

• Latest CT/PET-CT or other scan reports

• Blood-test reports

• Previous doctor's prescriptions and treatment records

The radiation oncologist will review these reports and decide whether radiation is needed, which area needs to be treated, the number of sessions, and the appropriate radiation technique.

Do not delay the consultation

Since chemotherapy has already been completed, it is better to meet the radiation oncologist with all your records and discuss the recommended timeline rather than choosing a hospital only on the basis of distance.

You can also ask the hospital about the total radiation cost, number of sessions, planning/CT simulation charges, follow-up visits and insurance or government-scheme coverage before starting treatment.

Wishing you and your family good health always.
