I am 36 years old was diagnosed in March with IDC.  It was 2.5 cm, Er+, pr-, her2- the pathology report said it was stage 2 grade II/III. Out of 4 lymph nodes involved. 2 came back positive.  One had 10 cells, the other was small as well, .36mm. I recently uderwent genetic testing and was negative for brca1 and positive for brca2.  I had a double mastecomy with tissue expanders, 6 rounds of chemo (tac) and am about to go to the radiology oncologist for evaluation.  I've heard different things because of the lymph nodes and brca2....I will definitely need radiation, or no, I don't.  Just wonder if anyone else had a similar experience or reccomendation.  I have not heard very positive things about radiation.
