Mayo should be state of the art everything and lots of experience. When I was scheduled for IORT in 2013 it made me nervous because it sounded new. Lots of disclaimers. I didn’t have it. The radiation I had in 2020-2021 was the more typical treatment. Mayo will know what’s the most effective for you.
Only one other breast cancer case in my family, a cousin. She doesn’t have the BRCA2 mutation. However, there has been tons of cancer in my family — various kinds.

I am so sorry to hear about family history . My family on another hand is back in Poland and nobody really knew or checked then why older people were dying ( especially in small towns or villages )! Also they are very secretive and did not really kept in touch with each other. Go figure !
