Thank you for that kind response. My radiologist told me when I asked her that question that if the whole breast was radiated, the only thing they can do the next time, if the cancer returns, is a mastectomy. If the tumor was really small, they could do a 'partial' breast radiation. But if the cancer returns, they cannot do the radiation again on that same spot. I had my first after surgery visit today with my medical oncologist and told her I was having neither the radiation nor the pill as I had bad side effects from it. She was, rather surprisingly quite ok with that and told me as my cancer was so small, radiation wasn't usually recommended. In fact, she then said that doctors 'recommend' these two options, but they're not, in my case, necessary? It's up to the patient. She told me that over a 10-year period, my chance of the cancer NOT recurring was 90% but taking the Pill it would be 92%. So, taking the Pill for 5 years didn't seem to me to make much of a difference? Now, I have to have checkups every 3 months for two years and a 3D mammogram every year. So, I felt very happy leaving the hospital for the first time since my surgery. Blessing to you also.
