Guest guest Posted December 28, 2002 Report Share Posted December 28, 2002 Thanks for the welcome! I have realized that I'm not alone, just didn't know that there would be so many unanswered questions. I have had the lumpectomy with sentinal nodes that were negative. 2.4 cm tumor. I was told by the surgeon that she got it all. Also the path. report backs up what she told me. I will be 73 years old on the 10th of Jan. 1.] Why in the world should I subnit to radiation with the risk of serious burns from the treatment? I have 2 friends that were badly burned, one skin only. The second had a lung burned so badly that she has lost 1/3 of the lung and has battled with collaosed lung problems three times! 2.] Are there any radiation facilities that gurantee not to do more harm than good? I have never just followed the path of least resistance. I'm having difficulty in even accepting the idea that more is good without enough background to back up their claims. Thank you everyone for any insight on my problem! Dot Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
