I've heard radiation called "the gift which keeps on giving", so I want to make an informed decision. Did you have a mastectomy? Which breast? Any lymph node involvement?

Mastectomy in remaining breast. Some lymph nodes removed - forget now how many. It was a grade 3 aggressive cancer. I don't understand why radiotherapy would cause continuing problems after the burns heal and the fatigue goes away. I'm nearly 77.
