I am sorry you have gone through this, what a horrible thing to go through. I cannot imagine why a doctor would recommend radiation for someone already diagnosed with angiosarcoma.
Angiosarcoma as a result of breast radiation is exceedingly rare, but as I said before; that doesn’t really matter if you are in that group.
I would hate to encourage people to go against their doctors recommendations since I don’t really have all the facts about their individual cancer.
Where was your moms angiosarcoma before her breast cancer diagnosis? Was her radiation recently?
