Should I Skip Radiation After Chemo for Early-Stage Breast Cancer?

Hi, I was stage 2A, both ER and PR negative and HER2 positive. No lymph node involvement. I had double mastectomy. I did chemo before my surgery, but had to stop after third cycle, due to toxicities. Did a radiation trial(5 days)after surgery and 14 cycles of Kadcyla.

I have the same thing as you. Doing chemo now along with herceptin for 12 weeks then radiation daily for 2 to 4 weeks. I may cut the radiation to two weeks only

This is such a common concern for many in the HER2+ community, and it's completely understandable to weigh the potential side effects against the benefits when making treatment decisions. Many people find it helpful to discuss specific concerns about radiation side effects with their oncology team, as they can provide personalized information based on individual risk factors and help explore all available options. Consider connecting with others here who may have faced similar decisions - their experiences and questions they asked their doctors could be valuable as you work through this choice.
