Close Margin With Mastectomy

Options

Hi! I'm just curious if anyone out there had close margins after mastectomy and decided to forge radiation?

I had a 0.41 margin after mastectomy. My doctors didn't seem to have a confident answer regarding whether or not I needed radiation but later recommended it. I felt this warranted a 2nd opionion. I met with a medical and radiation oncologist at MD Anderson. They did not recommend radiation. Ireally respect their expertise but often feel as if I'm the only patient who had close margins after mastectomy and didn't receive radiation. Anyone else?? 😊
