I don't have the same type of cancer, I have medication resistant TNBC, was diagnosed in Aug 2023. Just to give a bit of background, after 6 months of chemo, and immunotherapy I decided for a bi-lateral mastectomy in June 2024, along with reconstruction. After those 2 surgeries, they started my back on the Immunotherapy (no radiation) and was taking it through February this year. After the immunotherapy was completed, a CT was completed which found another tumor and I had to go for a partial-mastectomy and am in the middle of 30 radiation treatments then my oncologist wants to have me take capecitabine next.

With that being said, it is such a personal choice which to go with, for me it made more sense due to the higher odds of TNBC coming back and just hoping that it would alleviate some of the fear of it coming back. I am tolerating the radiation pretty well so far, today is the half way mark, it is just causing tiredness which that is a normal side-effect and also it can cause the tissue to harden (think scar tissue).

I wish anyone reading this good health for the future, keep positive and listen to what your body is telling you 🙂
