My friend had radiotherapy (very faired skinned) and didn't get any more than redness. I didn't require it. Location of the lump and breast size sometimes affects this as more needed to get to the right spot. Most peope found it was easier than chemo who I have spoken to. Hope the same for you. Kath x
Yeah my main radiotherapy oncologist felt it's really minimal benefit for my case but another on his team felt otherwise. My breast is small compared to the 2.5cm lump. It's clear surgical margin no muscle involved but after reading your post I think I would like to ask my surgeon how far it was away from muscle. I think I can deal with radiotherapy than chemo. xx
