As Ginny and August have told you, many of us have spent a great deal of time discussing this very issue.
It is a tough decision and one which we all second guess from time to time. If I never have a recurrence, then I obviously made the right decision. If I do have one, does that mean that I wouldn't have, if I had had radiation?
Unfortunately there is no one right answer.
