Hi,
I think you're okay. We will always have a lot of what if's... Unfortunately what we have to worry about is the cells that got away. Some research I have seen says radiation is still new, 15-20yrs for brst cancer. Radiation has it own risk. We really don't know what it means for us (women who will LIVE for another 40 -50 yrs). I do however think it's important to feel comfortable with and to respect your doctors. Although he did call you back quickly, important for me. You're smart and we look to you for info, you'll make the right decision.
