Hey Red, this is such great news. I've seen women go through radiation in my support group and they all did fabulously. You'll want something soothing and aloe-like to use after treatments, but get instructions from your radiation oncologist, there are specifics dos and don'ts with the topicals.
*Happy dance for you* !!!
I'm in year two on Tamoxifen so I can chat with you about that if you like. The side effects I have had have been manageable.

That could be my fate as well, so I'm hoping they got it all. My cancer was stage 0, grade 2, and there's nothing else viewable on either MRI or mammo, so my fingers are crossed that microscopically, everything is out!

Yay, Red! I hope radiation goes smoothly. Here's hoping for a very bright and cancer-free future!

I cannot believe I have missed this thread for so long!!! Wow you have been through so much (I just read through all 12 pages) and your attitude has been amazing. I am so glad things have taken a more positive turn. I will be reading this thread more regularly now. Good luck with the radiation - huge hug to you!!
