@TamiOc - is it your left or right boob that is affected? Radiation is generally fairly well tolerated (i had about 20 doses) on my right boob.
If it is your left boob - there are techniques used to minimize the chance of 'overflow' chance of the radiation ..... eg holding your breath whilst they give the rays, to 'separate' the various organs nearby. Ask your Onc about that. The Mepitel will also help protect from burning.
The Rads just mops up some of the randoms that the surgery may have missed & is usuallly nothing to be afraid of.
I am not familiar with the Abemaciclib .... ask your Onc about any grounds for compassionate grounds .... when my husband was on specific chemo back in 2010 ... it also wasn't on the PBS - but the week he started, it was 'covered' ... so miracles still do happen! xx. Fingers crossed
Re the hormone treatment - Letrozole is almost considered the 'gold treatment' for BC - and not everyone gets side effects - so it is well worth trying it for a few months to see how your body reacts to it ... and then make an informed decision xx
take care, and all the best with your decision making x
