Mine was Stage 1 IDC ER/PR positive and HER2 negative I was 65 at the time of surgery. I chose lumpectomy with breast reduction alone because my post surgery biopsy showed no lymph nodes and clear margins. For me was the place where it was located they could not assure me 100% that I would not have any heart issues because I would have had radiation directly above my heart. I can appreciate you looking at numbers and thinking the odds are in your favor! My chance of a recurrence was less than my chance of having permanent heart damage, so I chose to forego it as well as hormone therapy. The hormone therapy had less than 2 % chance of preventing anything and a horribly high risk of side affects.

I did have radiation and am mad I did. My radiation oncologist recommended 5 treatment of rad. At a high level but said my heart would be fine. So I got it done. Then when I went to cardiologist he was so rude and just said oh yeah, you will get corotid arteries from radiation (left side) I was like…don’t you guys talk to each other? For Gods sake.
Why would rad oncologist act like the heart would he fine when it won’t? I prayed when I got my radiation for God to protect my heart. So there is that!!! 🙏💕💪🏻✅
