A worthwhile read

A great read - I am sure the book will be well worth reading too.

Thank you @Romla.  Good article. 
I now feel quite justified for insisting on an ultrasound of my mastectomy side. 
Summer   :)

Thank you. Great article.

I didn’t have affected nodes and clear margins with mastectomy. No radiotherapy and chemo was a mop up that was my choice offered by the oncologist. No guarantees though. 

@Afraser definitely indicated in my case. Stage 3 with nodes (not certain how many as no surgery yet).

Depends a bit on the stage of the cancer and the number of affected lymph nodes. So if recommended......

Very interesting read. For some reason I had thought that the risk of local recurrence after mastectomy was close to zero but not so! Did a bit of reading and realised the true value of the radiotherapy I am having (reduction of risk of local recurrence by almost three quarters).

Very interesting read .

Interesting article @Romla
