making decisions hardest part also had sentinel lymph node removed but I couldn't list both in the system above unless I should do it separately: was done at same time. Hurt for a while as did the biopsy but better now. All in all really liked my surgeon and it has healed well

Experience with
Breast Cancer
over 4 years agoI have to decide on radiation and the meds to surppess my hormones now
Decision Point
Got 2 options on the radiation: one is full breast other is partial with radiation 2x day for l week. Possible side effects and late side effects worry: include possible lung (cough., already have that) possible effect on sac around my heart (had issue with that before very painful) a rib could break. I have fatigue issues now. Although I am told these are likely to be brief or may not occur, it really worries me. I am still on the hormone fence also.
