Hi I don’t have breast cancer I have non Hodgkin’s lymphoma which affects my lymph nodes so I have experienced radiotherapy chemotherapy and also has a lymph node removed  , If I would have had a choice to have a lymph node removed or have radiotherpy I would have chose to just have the lymph node removed, not because radiotherapy was bad it was just tiring I had 20 rounds of it but I think it must do more damage to your body in the long term- than getting a lymph node removed.

Thanks For kindly replying, 

I should say that I will have radiotherapy regardless. It is planned as a five day course only although an extra boost perhaps because of this. 

wishing you well x

Sorry I misunderstood Trant, so if an extra boost will give the same outcome as the op  you might aswell just go with that if you have to have the radiotherapy anyway, But it’s your desision I wish you luck on whatever you choose to do.

Thank you. You too
