I had lumpectomy and 37 radiation treatments in right breast. I had no choice and am glad I did it. Actually, I didn't react very bad at all to radiation. I had a slight burn but nothing major and looking at my breasts now, I really can't tell a difference in the skin texture of the two. I guess it differs with the individual. I have heard about losing elasticity after radiation and making it hard for implants, I have a friend who had implants done after her masectomy and radiation, she couldn't get them really big but who cares about that. Another friend was told she had to do the trans flap because of radiation. I would definately do radiation though. With Her2 being agressive, you want to do all you can..sherryg683
