Help...I'm so confused :) Chemo or no to chemo??
Hi to all
Still plodding along this end. Today I met with the oncology unit.

Oh no wonder you are confused. Relax and take your time.
Can you get another opinion? Why chemo and not radio? I'm not a medical person but I thought that chemo just killed any cancer cells in the body, and radio killed any remaining cancer cells in the breast, and the hormone treatment prevented the reoccurence?
I too didn't have a choice, and after 8 cycles of chemo, 6 weeks radio, and one year hercepton I'm afraid I don't feel great. Maybe one day, and after all of the above I still have a 30% risk of reoccurence. . BUT quite a few ladies I have met who just had the 4 cycles of chemo are fine, and haven't had any lasting effects.
So as I said relax, let it ride for a little while and you will work it out.
