It is very hard to know what to do - I start the 5 day program on my left breast and it all worries me. My Onc says that I could almost forgo 5 years of Tamoxifen which I would prefer. I am drug adverse and try to
manage thru exercise and foods. But... then what if? It's all a crap shoot. I am probably going to do the radiation to get to 99%, try drugs to see how I do and go from there. Sad part, is I waited a bit too long to do a ton of research but also, radiation is not something I can do in 6 months - Now is the time..

@newtosc I’m in same boat as you. These decisions are tricky aren’t they? I’m getting a second opinion tomorrow about 5 day radiation but am still not 100% I want to do either it or drugs. If you see this, would love to know how it’s all going for you now, 4 months since your post. Thanks.
