Re: Rad or mastectomy ?

I had DCIS (only in breast), had mastectomy and then 5 years later it came back, same breast and invasive, then I had radiation.
While I don't want to suggest an opinion to you, I would say get another opinion until you feel confident of your choice. The first time around, they wouldn't give me herceptin - only gave it to metatastic people. so would herceptin or would having had radiation made a difference in my case? I'd say yes but which or both??? Definitely I believe herceptin would have made a huge difference.
I wish your wife good health.
health and happiness
