Radiation after lumpectomy

GypsyK

I have stage 1, invasive ductal, 1.4cm, grade 2 hormone positive, her2 negative, no nodes involved. Looking to find anyone who did not have radiation following bc like mine and how they are doing 10 years later. Looking to find thoe who did have radiation following bc like mine and how they are doing 10 years later. Trying to see if recurrence and subsequent bc that occurred after no radiation outweighs the risk of occurence of secondary non breast cancer (lung, bone, blood,etc.) as a result of radiation.

I had radiation and am 10 plus years out. No problems then or now. For what it's worth, I am very glad I did it.

I had a mastectomy and didn't "require" radiation. I am 6 years out. Not sure I would risk radiation but that is me.
