Kim Galt says that her decision to avoid radiation was the best decision she could have made for herself.

Fay decided to go for lumpectomy and all 8 lymph nodes were removed were clean. Doctor said: Stage 1, but must do radiotherapy and chemotherapy. I protested and doctor agreed I go for radiation only. I received 15X radiation. That was 8 years ago, I am well today.
