Hi LauraB27 in 2020 i was diagnosed with early invasive breast cancer. I had no lymph involvement and all margins clear. I threw everything at it,surgery, chemo, radium and then hormone suppression. I had a very high ki67 factor that showed a high rate of return hence full on treatment.
Fast forward to 2023 and despite all that it came back at metastatic disease. I am glad I threw absolutely everything at it so I have no doubt in my mnd that I didnt leave some out of my trtreatmentit doesnt happ to everyone. Even my oncologist shocked this happened to me . She reviewed everything we did to prevent this for me. I just got very unlucky.
Best wishes with your treatment decisions. I don't want to frightened you but sharing my story to help people understand this disease is really very serious.
Thank youCath62 for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear that it returned and hope that you are doing well. I have decided to stick with my gut instinct and go ahead with the chemo so that I know I did all I could. First round is on Monday. I know there are no guarantees with this either but I’m giving it my best shot.
