vpate

Did your oncologist say it was effective for early

Stage breast cancer. Post menopausal, negative in lymphs, positive oestrogen progesterone, HER negative

Unfortunately for me both breasts.

Right 2.5 centimetres

I think many of us who have a lumpectomy end up with a combination of whole breast radiation followed by a boost ( which is actually a partial breast radiation focused on the area of the breast where the cancer has been removed.

I had partial breast irradiation prior to surgery in a trial. I'm now 4 years out. My tumor was much smaller than yours which might be a deciding factor.

vpate, I was offered partial breast radiation and my tumor was 2.6 with 3.0 dcis. I decided not to do it because I was HER2 positive which is more aggressive.
