Hi I’m new to the group

Hi Jes 

Sorry you're going through this blasted disease. I had lumprctomy in 2007 but as my sentinel node had cancer cells I had chemo and 25 radiotherapy sessions. I did get a bit of a radiation burn under my breast but I had larger breasts then. The only other side affect I had was a tiredness. 

I've sadly have a metatastic diagnoses after 14 years clear but not at the initial breast site. It's in the liver and spine, which I'm led to believe is fairly common. Many many people don't develop mets and tbh in my humble opinion I wouldn't worry too much about the radiation. I got 14 clear years. It's totally up to you of course but I would speak to your oncologist and /or breast care team and arm yourself with information both for and against before making your decision. Good luck!
