Chemo

My percentage was in the 1-2% for chemotherapy too but probably easier as oncologist said he didnt recommend chemotherapy although he has patients that argue for it.  I dont think of the 5 year issue and 'doing everything' as that isnt how i live my life; i can hold that there is some risk and i can also understand that not evveryone who has chemotherapy is cured; im not sure it works that way.  I used my own feelings of being told that chemotherapy wasnt indicated --i felt a sense of relief and 'i can do this' a lot of the fear went out of it for me.  What i did find tricky is until i went to radiation  i thought that i was in a small minority when actually im not!  Although my future imagined life has value--the last year has value too and im pleased that my life and my health and my families lives were able to function at a pretty normal level.
