25 fractions Radiotherapy done in July-August 2016 by Linear after completion of second phase of chemotherapy
Although, she had suffered by serious infection 2 times during her chemotherapy but successfully overcome. After completion of total treatment, her condition was found excellent.
Then, 1 month after completion of last chemotherapy (maintenance Trastuzumab), in her follow-checkups was done & no any spots/stains was found in the PET Scan(May 2017)
