Hi
So you had the option of no radiation? I was told radiation and then tamoxifen. I would rather not do radiation.

My DCIS was very small and the lumpectomy showed good margins. My surgeon was open to me looking into radiation, but she felt that it may be overkill. I learned that any body part can only be treated with radiation once. If the cancer comes back after radiation, the only option would be mastectomy.
I decided that I would keep the radiation card in my pocket in case I need it in the future.
