Re: Radiation after pCR - what to do!?
Hi,
Glad to know your wife's response has been so good, this disease is all about making tough decisions and I was glad in my case that I didn't have a choice as I had had a lumpectomy.
I can't help you much with your decison except to wish you both well, but looking back now nine years on I really am so pleased I completed chemo and rads and thankful to be still cancer free. I chose to throw everything I could at this and think in your wife's place I would still do the same, who knows what may help us avoid a recurrance?? for all we know its the one thing we thought we wouldn't need, thats my view on it anyway!
