No cribiform, no intraductal or any of the otehr things you mentioned. RO at MSK tells me less than 10% chance of this recurring and the majority of the time comes back in the same spot and is treatable. Metastasis risk appears very low with Artera score of 2%. I understand the mental “burden” that may come with radiation vs surgery I just like those odds assuming they are accurate. What is hard is when a surgeon makes you feel as if you are making a risky decision by going with radiation at my age……..that’s just not what I’m reading and hearing from RO’s

Because your case is so mild, the RO’s feel they can treat it without future issues. The surgeons don’t look at the options you have if it comes back, Options I have outlined above.
