radiation?

I am also triple positive er, pr her2, no nodes, no vascualr and primary tumors were 1.2 had a lumpectomy on 10/5, herceptain 1x a week amd luprene shots - I saw three separate oncs and all said the same thing - lumperctomy = radiation - should never do one without the other -
I am starting radiation next week - scared to death - but know that i have no choice- b/c of my anatomy, the rads will have to involve the lymphnodes - hence the real prosepct of lymphdema -
like the rest I have to be sure that i am doign all I can to prevent a reoccurance- i have two kids to raise amd intend to do so for many years to come ....
