Dee,

I forgot to add that this article is addressing treatment of a first reocurrence, but avoiding one in the first place is a much better plan. I think this also confirms that the masectomy can be done after radiation, as the women in this article chose masectomy for a first local reocurrence and most likely had been treated with radiation for their original cancer.
