Hi Airlie
I finished radiation on 19/4/16 after bilateral mastectomy. They treated the left chest wall (cancer left breast) and supraclavicular lymph nodes. I had left axillary clearance so no rads there. My tumour was triple negative grade 3, I think stage 2, first sentinel node positive all others negative. Not all breast tissue is removed with mastectomy and radiation is used to destroy any cancer cells that may remain. Decision usually based on pathology, size of tumour, lymph node involvement, margins etc
