Thanks everyone for your replies. I thought radiation was indicated after mastectomy only if more than 3 nodes were affected , or if tumor size was larger. I didn't have either so I am a bit confused as to why I am being referred to radiation oncologist. I would like to make my plan for time off and when I will be finished all my treatments so I hope to see the rad onc soon.
