I met with a radiation oncologist yesterday and we decided to go ahead with the radiation. It was pretty much a no -brainer! He felt the treatment would reduce my risk of reoccurence by 15%. My concerns were the long term effects of the rads- heart and lung damage and the inability to radiate the same spot twice. He told me my info was old, with new technology and machines these risks were less than 1%. So off to 6 more weeks of treatment and truth be told I am relieved to be continuing treatment.... I was very surprised at my emotional reaction at the end of treatment ... while under treatment I had a sense of security- without any active treatment every twitch and tingle (post surgery things) was worrisome!!!! Thank you all for your wisdom.
