I did 15 days of radiation. My oncologist said if I was 65+ no radiation needed.

My aunt had my same breast cancer except she’s 70. No meds. No radiation. I got the impression she opted not to take the meds.

I am 74 and my oncologist said no radiation and no meds because there is an 8% chance of cancer coming back and 4% coming back with radiation and meds so I do not think I want meds with side effects like osteoporosis. I am thin and have osteopenia
