Hi Chelee,
Re the seed implants. I think they're for lumpectomy only. I was told I didn't have enough surrounding tissue, I think 1cm in all directions, to be able to do it. That may leave you with just the external beam to explore.
Although it's not usual and customary, I was offered tamoxifen before rads. The doc said I could choose to start before or after rads. I don't know which hormonal is right for you, but I think you should maybe start asap.
Your in a tough spot. See the pulmo doc and get the next rad opinion. The stats were compiled before Herceptin was used on early stage. Maybe Herceptin will work against local recurrences as well. Best of luck. BB
