I did not have radiation. While there are no guarantees Anastrozole does cut back recurrence by 50%. And it certainly kept this rogue cell at a VERY slow growing rate (only 3% of cells in this 4mm tumor were dividing) KI-67 was 3!
Don’t worry about the side effects of radiation. I had 6 weeks of it. I went to work did my full 8 hours. And went to radiation it took longer to under dress than doing radiation. The last week were hard the (sun burn ) was present. Make sure you ask for cream once you see it. Apply it as needed. It helped me.
Plus radiation helps as an extra protection layer

@anjalima there are lots of tips to prevent radiation burn at this link https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/radiation-burn-treatment/
I used fresh aloe vera and I had no problem. Just make sure you continue using it at least a week after the last treatment. I stopped a day after and the blisters appeared few days after the last round. The aloe vera gel at store (even 100% aloe vera) is not as good. Don’t worry so much. You’ll be fine.

Also concerned with skin staying supple for future reconstruction as I’m basically having a skin resection. This tumor is just between skin and implant.

Did you have any contracture? I have an implant.
