@sandramj I'm actually not surprised at all. I had radiation in 2011, the side effects were quite alot and still have cramping in my chest due to it. The other fact is they cannot explain why I had a recurrence in the same spot?? after radiation and tamoxifen for 4yrs? really? so it begs to wonder doesnt it. I do know Tamoxifen doesnt work in 1/3 of cases so it could have been that, or it could have been the radiation that caused it. I'll never know. What i do know 6yrs on is...I would have a mastectomy and no treatment, but Ive been through and experienced a hell of a lot to realize this. :) Hang in there xoxo Melinda
