Optional radiation following mastectomy

Thanks very much, Arpie. I appreciate your input.

I was talking to a friend recently who had had everything the first time her breast cancer appeared (well, surgery, chemo, radiation), and she got an ongoing condition from her radiation treatment (I forget what it was :/ ). I must admit that put me off, but I think it's also that I've been having treatment for 9 months now with still 5-10 years of HT to go (which I know can be ok but can also be rough), and I think I'm liking the opportunity to skip something. It's also the way it's been presented to me - kind of "the stats show it will help (a bit) but take it or leave it" - where everything else has been much more, "you really need this". And I'm just starting to feel more energetic since I'm nearly 4 weeks post surgery and 2 months post chemo - I wanna go up not down! :smile: 

Oh well - I'll think about it some more.

Thanks again and good luck with everything. xx
