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
