My mastectomy was Feb. 22. It was a 3 year prior ( not breast cancer) cancer that excluded me from the trial . The trial parameters were NO other cancers within 5 years. I’m 4+ years now but 3 then. It would have been an intervening variable. But the fact that I qualified from a BC perspective gave me good information. I was 2 lymph node positive but the 5 nodes next in line were negative.

I opted out of radiation. Hope I made the right decision. So far so good.

Very hard decisions we are faced with. Very personal choices. No guarantees! It would be nice though.

Best to you on the path.

I am leaning more and more to No on the radiation. There aren’t any guarantees no matter the choice you make.
