While there are some side effects to radiation I think the experience is probably worth it in terms of preventing spread. Also there is a newish approach to radiation and that is a 5 day course. Research is showing that it is as effective as the 5 or 6 week standard course. This is being offered in Boston if that helps.

Here is one of the research articles for the 5 day protocol. This was done in Florence. It was the research my oncologist referred to.

Accelerated Partial-Breast Irradiation Compared With Whole-Breast Irradiation for Early Breast Cancer: Long-Term Results of the Randomized Phase III APBI-IMRT

The article pages have side bars. It makes the article twice as long because only half the page has research info.
