Think positive! I too have these radiation fears, but you must remember each person reacts differently.
Not to compare scars here but it was 60 days before I finally got treatment. (no insurance)
I once stated that I would get better treatment if I was a dog that got hit by a car.
The danger to your Mom was the surgery, and that is why they are forgoing it. The radiation won't be easy, but it will not give her a heart attack as they feared the surgery would.
Throw away ALL those negative thoughts!
