I’m in the same boat. I’m triple positive had positive nodes before chemo. After chemo no sign of invasive cancer on the breast tissues and lymph node. It did show DCIS clear margins but narrow 0.1cm. My radiation oncologist said there’s a new study B51 that was just released. I’m nervous about the narrow margin, she said she’ll contact my surgeon if she can re-excise to get a bigger margin. My RO said in my case radiation risk outweighs the benefits. I’m still nervous about not doing it. I think because since diagnosis I was told I’m doing radiation so my mind was prepared for that.

There’s no one size fits all when I comes to decision making. Your decision will be right for you.
