Hi Nita,
How fortunate that your hormone receptors were nagative. Mine were positive
so I had to go off my hormone replacement therapy then on to tamoxifen,
which is not fun. It gives you hot flashes even if you didn't have them
before.
I don't know about the radiation. Statistically it is supposed to be
effective. I hope it is since it is so expensive.
Take care. A friend
Liz
