Hi Joy,
I was also on the fence with 3 nodes +. My onc. was dead set against me having it. I did however go ahead and have my radiation consult. and we both agreed that I was in good health and though it might not give me some huge benefit but I was of the mindset that since I was going in there and getting Herceptin, what was one month of rads. I already knew that I would be going in for an S-Gap for my reconstruction and not implants. I think that is somthing you may want to figure in your pros and cons list. I don't have fair skin and found it very tolerable. A little fatigue, but no blisters or burns, I was lucky.

For me, my thoughts were to do everything I could to fight it now, for fear of it coming back, knock on wood 2 years out and NED. I wish you the best in your decision.
