@billiemoore I was stage one and my lympnodes were clear. I received radiation and on medication for 10 years. I am 44 years old. I gladly did radiation due to my age. I would not go light if my lymphones had cancer. I did 20 rounds of radiation equalatent to one month daily. I had 3 different opinions from 3 different states and doctors and clinics and they all told me about the same maybe one a little bit slightly different than the other, but radiation didn't came off the table for any of them. I don't have any issues with my arm and even if I did, that problem with my arm would not kill me, but cancer will. I have seen too many people gone within months to gamble my faith.

@claudiaovando1 I’m surprised you had radiation recommended—did you have lumpectomy or mastectomy? The SUPREMO trial showed radiation not recommended for early stage (up yo stage 2) when a person had mastectomy and the TrialRT (in progress) is to look at those with 1-2 lymph nodes and low Onco (like mine) to see if they too should not have radiation as long as on meds.
