Thanks Anne Today the leading radiation oncologist and registrar were helpful and informative, Yet I am still left with difficult decision as margins close 0.04 .
risk to do nothing 20-30% return
radiation reduces risk to 5-15%
plus hormone therapy reduces another 5%
I think he is leaning for me toward mastectomy, rather than radiotherapy but is happy to do radiotherapy and find least damaging way to do it.
I do travel to melbourne to see my cardiologist soon and will discuss this
Although I did asked him( by email )when asking for fitness for surgery a few weeks ago about the potential effects of radiotherapy for me and he said this is out of his expertise.
