Given that you are doing so many other intensive therapies, potentially ask the doctor to describe the benefits of adding radiation to the mix, especially since you don't have much if any lymph node involvement. When I asked why would I need radiation in addition to chemo, I was told that with my cancer type amd situation, chemo did not seem to work so well with lymph nodes - I had extensive lymph node involvement.

i am struggling in the decision because im just not sure the risk of the distinct possibility of the breast lymphedema and potential arm lymphedema is worth having the radiation
