Yes, 1A,ILC. Oncologist at M.D.Anderson said no radiation for us older folks, too hard on the body. Harvard study also backs this up. I had been recommended five weeks of radiation/five days a week at another institution before testing. Dr was on the business development committee. Same Dr sent me to two other doctors, they both asked why I was there, not needed. Again, business development and referrals. Ugg

So, what is the age cut off for radiation now?

Hmm, how many people were in the study and what was the duration (number of years ) of the Harvard study? Data can be interpreted multiple ways- and one study should not dictate medical protocol.
