Lumpectomy with or without Radiation?

Two surgical consults (2nd yesterday) recommend lumpectomy with sentinel lymph node removal for small IDC. Both surgeons are linked with hospitals where funded research studies follow IORT patients. I am not opposed to participating in follow-up studies; I do, however, want to choose what is the best option for me and my body.

Has anyone experienced an IDC lumpectomy without radiation? If so, what suggestions do you have?

Has anyone experienced IORT with any sort of complication (radiation-related or otherwise)? If so, what suggestions do you have?

Thank you.
