I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer with liver mets last April. I have only had surgery and chemo, along with herceptin. I have not had radiation. I think it is because of the mets, but I am not sure. You have reminded me to ask my doctor next visit. Thanks. Oh yea, I had 14 positive nodes.

I had a masectomy and they still wanted to do radiation. My rad onc explained to me that breast cancer can still come back in the scar tissue and it is better to radiate it and try to kill it than to take a chance without trying.
