Hi,

I had mastectomy and radiation because even though I had only one node it was large. I was told radiation is a secure kick at it and I will do anything to bring down chance of reccurrance. Yes it is usually offered to those who have 3 or more lymph nodes but I had one and am still doing radiation. I am happy about this decision as it is just another assurance to localized reccurance as well. Keep all your doors open . I say " Kick it " with all you can!
