I was told that if I took the hormone pill tamoxifen, I might avoid radiation. Not sure which is worse that pill or radiation.
I choose radiation, because that pill could affect my uterus, which I have had issues with.
I had 16 treatments. I was really sore afterward,ps, 4 months later , I’m feeling very tight there. Also had low score.
But I still think I made the right choice.
I had multi focal in 1 quadrant of inavasive lobular . The radiation dr told me lots of people can not tolerate those drugs and don’t stay on them.
So if you choose not to get radiation, take the meds I guess

Some are not given this choice. I was told surgery, radiation, and an aromatase inhibitor plus bone drug. I had to say NO.
