I was an early stage also, however the surgeon thought radiation would be part of my tx., but when discussed at weekly board, they went with chemo. Even though I did not get 100% clear margins on one of my tumors near the chest wall. (had 4 small individual primaries)
I have always wondered if not having the radiation would make a difference?

Well wishes, to all,

Feb/08 tissue expanders (unhappy with them, looking into changing them Feb/09)
