I have a blown head gasket in my 98 cavalier. I just had my radiator replaced 2 weeks prior to this happening. Could the radiator breaking down be the cause of this? I want to know if its worth fixing, my car has 50,000 miles and nothing else major has been wrong with it.

Cylinder head gasket repair can run several hundred dollars for your car: under a hundred for parts but seven plus hours for repairs, if the head doesn't need sent out for planing, etc.
You say that nothing else major is wrong, but what repairs have you had to do so far?
Consider what may fail and determine if that can be the deal killer.
