Radiation for node negative?
Is radiation now (or in the past) recommended for early stage (1 or 2) Her2neu+ with no known node involvement? Recently I've been noticing entries stating Stage 1 and 2 women have received radiation and some were 0 nodes. If you are Her2neu+ and ER+, does that mandate radiation?
Radiation was not even mentioned when I was dx'd in 2004. At that time negative nodes seems to have dictated less treatment. Just curious.
