To do radiation or not

@Cynth6 totally understand your apprehension, Im very fair skinned but not everyone fair skinned burns believe it or not. I know many who didn't. I unfortunately did in the last few weeks, particularly under my arm. Honestly though Marg is right, it took 2 weeks and alot of solugel to heal, but it heals super quick no problems, the fatigue was incredible, like Id been hit by a bus. I worked all the way through rads and a single parent of 2. It really isn't as bad as you anticipate and its an added insurance. I hear you about the Mastectomy...a year after treatment I finally did a single due to a recurrence...but pathology of the breast was perfect :/ then a subsequent visit to the Oncologist for him to say he's not worried about me getting breast cancer again but rather a secondary. Im like WTF!!!! then why bother with a mastectomy then?? So I think youre doing all the right things, and soon it will be in the past...I found in 6yrs rads was the easiest of the lot. :) big hugs Melinda xo
