No chemo for me as well. Mine score was a 6. I’m leading towards a hard no on the radiation. (Mine were cells as well no tumor). I wish they checked more lymph’s on you. That may have helped in making your decision. Have you read all your reports?

I am going to get a second opinion on the sentinal lymph node. I am willing to go back to surgery to get 2-3 more checked. Piece of mind! I read that some people have only 1 sentinel node?? My nuclear tracking didn’t work and that’s why I believe only one node was removed. I’m scheduled for radiation to start tomorrow. I’m really on the fence about it. I’m very healthy otherwise and don’t want to wreck my body with radiation. I’m on hormone inhibitor. I hate that because up until now at 69 I’ve avoided pharmaceutical meds. My radiation oncologist is a breast cancer survivor. Should this make me feel better about the radiation?
