Hi Amanda
I would go with the radaiation and tamoxifen too. Radiation is tedious as you have to go every day but having done chemo too know that it is a lot easier and you are able to work if don't have a too strenous job I am a nurse so it wasn't an option for me but know plenty of people who have worked all through their radiation. Not sure where you live but I was able to go in the evening so my husband could take me. We had to drive 50 kms round trip so was quite wearing for both of us. We found some great places to eat though!!
Good luck with your decision 0.5% is very low wish I had had figures like that!
All the best
Sarah
