Randi,
Like you I had a small tumor, no lymph involvement, am ER+++,PR+,HER2+++, and a lumpectomy. I never questioned getting radiation because I know that it really aims at the locaton of the disease and I wouldn't dream of risking needing more chemo. Radiation was a breeze for me without any ill effects unless you count a sunburned boob a disaster. I am grateful for every treatment modality that will keep me from having a recurrence. I had my first post treatment mammogram on November 9 and there was NED.
Hang in there and go with the recommended treatment.
