Cher - I definately like those odds of doing rads. Thanks for sharing as I wasn't exactly sure what the improvement from rads would be...I just knew it wasn't optional as I had a lumpectomy.  Chemo, on the other hand, was optional and I did it as well.

Okay guys, my two cents worth!
My dx was similar...2.0cm...no nodes...I opted for chemo and rads....threw the arsenal at it. One year after dx, it recurred. Now don't get alarmed....my question is where would I be now had I chosen not to do any or part of it. I don't think I'd be here typing my merry little heart out. So my advice.....USE THE ARSENAL!!
Love and Prayers,
