Anyone had cancer return while taking hormone therapy meds?

My diagnosis was IDC ER/PR+HER2- unless you have this particular diagnosis an ONCOTYPE will not be used as it cannot measure outside of this paradigm.
My ONCOTYPE revealed that I would not benefit from chemo so not a consideration.
The radiation was questionable and I went with NOT and I regret it.
This appears to be a rogue cell that got away ( rad would likely have killed it).
It’s 4mm in area of original tumor. PET tomorrow to rule out a major problem. 🙏🙏🙏
Will def have radiation now after resection.
Can anyone chime in on their radiation experiences and side effects?

I did 20 Radiation treatments. About 2 hours after my first treatment, I had sharp stinging sensations under my armpit (kind of like bee stings). And that came and went throughout my treatments. My Rad Onc said it’s not typical to have symptoms that soon, but she has had a few patients who have.
Other than that, I didn’t notice anything until a couple weeks in…had pretty bad skin burns (even though I used the lotions they gave me everyday).
Honestly, I remember the worst part being a couple days after I finished treatments….my nipple itched soooo bad, but it was the type of itch that was deep and I couldn’t get to it. It drove me crazy for a while!
So I am hoping the lump I’m feeling now is scar tissue from the Radiation. 🤞🏻
