Deciding on radiation or not

Hello
Everyone’s treatment plan is different for their type of breast cancer.
I had a double mastectomy, 25 rounds of radiation, and preventive chemo.
I just completed my reconstruction - fat graph for small b cup.

I am cancer free - a long journey.

My advice is to do what is medically right and not convenient.

I had stage 3 HER 2 positive and wanted to limit my percent chance for reoccurrence - I am recovering as I write this from reconstruction and I am excited to have courageously made it positively through all treatments over the past year!

I will be monitored for the next 5 years.
I am ready to only look forward and continue living without regrets on my decision with my care team.

Focus on your long term health and you are worth driving 2 hours each way!!

Follow what treatment is right for you-we are more courageous than we think

How is it going? So glad you are at the end of all treatment.

Can you explain fat grafting reconstruction? So no implants and not Diep?
