I have been told I am borderline but Dr recommends radiation treatment due to original size of tumour ($28,000 per treatment I'd recommend it too!). I finished chemo on 28 Jun 2019, had a mastectomy ...

How about looking into public system option? That's a huge amount of money. Not too many people could afford that.
Public radiotherapy was the only option available where I am almost 4 years ago, when I was treated.
Congratulations on getting through chemo and surgery. That's a great response you you had, and it's the benefit of neoadjuvant chemo..... knowing your response.
It's a hard decision to make but you can only go on what you treatment team advises. The decision is up to you, but you have to be sure you can live with the consequences of either decision. Radiotherapy is a different kind of tough, compared to chemo, and like chemo, we all react differently.
I was advise very early to keep salt water chilled and soak washersin the solution and put them on my breast at least twice a day for 10-20 minutes. It was so soothing. Whether it was that, or luck, I don't know, but in the end I didn't have severe burning
