Which to choose? Has anyone had to make this decision ? I’m not from  a medical background so would appreciate any feed back on this tricky decision please? Help!,

  • I had whole breast radiation as I am small breasted and couldn’t have partial anyway.    I have sent you this link as a good beginning to review those opt snd then you can tslk with doctor and see what is best for you.  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34459500/

  • I had partial breast irradiation a year ago.I had a small tumour with clear margins. I’ve got quite big boobs but the treatment went well will with just a slight pinkening of the skin. A year later I have a really good cosmetic effect and a clear anniversary mammogram.

    I would say if your radiation oncologist thinks you are suitable go for it.They are the ideal people to advise you
