Thank you for sharing. I do not have node involvement. They originally mentioned radiation with either surgical option. Did they also recommend radiation after mastectomy? Did you decide to have one mastectomy?

One thing, I would like to inject into this conversation is that angiosarcoma as described above is rare. In fact it is very rare. This won’t matter if you are in that 2 tenths of 1% that get it. That being said, it is always a cost vs benefit equation for any treatment.
Do you have a doctor or nurse that can help you weigh these options for your particular cancer and your life situation?
