Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To demonstrate the feasibility and safety of concurrent CTRT regimen in adjuvant treatment of breast cancer.  Incidence of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy associated dose limiting toxicity will be assessed during as well as after treatment up to 3 months. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To assess the compliance rate and incidence of severe toxicity; To study impact of concurrent regimen on patient Quality of life; To compare severe acute toxicity rates of the two schedules of taxanes: 3 weekly and weekly; Short term disease related outcomes of concurrent CTRT in terms of overall survival (OS), loco-regional failure-free survival (LRFFS), breast cancer specific survival (BCSS)
 
Study the impact of concurrent CTRT on global Quality of life scores up to 2 years post treatment; Disease free survival at 3 years; Breast cancer specific survival at 3 years; Overall survival at 3 years
