Radiation after lumpectomy

@Anne65 I am wondering whether you went with radiation or not, assuming it would be starting soon/now if you had healed well? I've just had my surgery/lumpectomy last week, with one node removed (the tumours were about 11mm x 16mm and he took a larger chunk than initially planned, so that is good) - and I see the surgeon next Monday to discuss the pathology results, margins & further treatment.  In our initial appointment before surgery, I was been advised to have the radiation as a precaution, as my cancer was a tricky one & could spread ..... but depending on the margins and discussions with the team next week, who knows?  I may be given the option of not doing radiation - I find out next Monday.  All the best with your journey.
