It will be easier to decide about radiation when you know more about the extent of radiation therapy they are recommending. I had only 5 days of radiation, although that meant a higher dose each day, 600 gy per session, total 3000 gy. I did not have any skin damage. I do believe I have developed some fat necrosis, not a lot, will know more next visit. My decision was based on the lowering of risk of recurrence vs lifetime radiation exposure complications. Recurrence scared me more.

It’s good that you’re asking questions here. There is so much to consider, it helps to hear what others have chosen, and why,
