I said no

Hi @Blossom1961 I had radiotherapy after mastectomy and it wasn’t too bad. The damage came later which impacted on reconstruction. I’m glad I had it because I can’t take Tamoxifen. You just have to think about how you would feel if the cancer came back and you hadn’t had radiotherapy. It’s your decision and like all of us you weigh up the pros and cons and come to terms with your decisions. It sounds harsh, but doctors move on and have new patients. You have to live with the side effects etc, or benefit from the preventative strategies. All the best.
