Did anyone else decide to not have radiation?

Yes doing so much research has caused me so much confusion.
But you are absolutely correct. It doesn’t make sense to treat the old as aggressively as the young.
I am turning 69 next week so not quite yet 70 but definitely in that range.!
May I ask your experience with radiation if you had it delivered?

I had low grade lumps in both breasts. I chose to do 18 rounds of radiation with sero AI drugs. Tried the drugs for 6 months and was crippled with arthritis immediately. within 2 weeks I could hardly walk. So I did the radiation and skipped the drugs after treatment. Went on a healthy vegan diet for a year, and have never looked back. The radiation was a piece of cake, compared to the drugs. 5 years clear. I was 69 when I was diagnosed. Piece of mind is everything afterwards. in my opinion, it is definitely the least aggressive of all treatments.
