Are you considering radiation? What has the radiation oncologist told you? And do you currently have heart issues? If you can add some details I think you'll get some useful response. I gather the heart can be harmed, but that are positions etc. that make it less likely with radiation.

I am being treated at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and I do have a phone consult with radiologist today. I will get some questions answered then. I have to choose between lumpectomy and radiation vs mastectomy. I do have heart issues and I have been very proactive for heart health through diet and exercise for over 10 years and just want to be fully informed especially with other's experiences, which I view as most valuable
