@jlwilcox No. As annoying as it might be for you to hear this, I would tell you to not give up. Death is forever. Fight for your life. Your dog and you both have many good years ahead. I personally would not worry about the reconstruction surgery (I'm 72) & the radiation for me was nothing at all. I take a half-dose (10 mgs) of Tamoxifen which protects my bones. No side effects. It sucks to be sick, yes, but there's still a lot of life to live after treatment.
