You can do it! I did mine last year 2-7-23, am all healed up after surgery and 16 radiation sessions (use aquaphor before and after radiation to stay moist but realize that the grease stains your Bras and t-shirts, so be ready to toss them afterwards). At 64, I asked to have the oncotype Dx test done on the excised tumor. With a score of 17 it showed that chemotherapy would be < 1% effective in preventing recurrence, so I opted out. Please do ask for this test. Good luck. Hugs!
