Thanks Deanne, I feel like I am having a real battle with this decision so am grateful to be able to unload even slightly on here. I have come up against some very strong reactions from family already when I've mentioned that I may not do the chemo and it blows me away! These are the times we learn a lot about ourselves and others I guess. I don't expect people to agree with my decision but am hoping that they can accept it without making me feel guilty and I'm seeing that not everyone will be able to do that. This is the hardest part for me, I know they want me to do chemo because they care and think I should do everything possible to fight this but if I don't agree that it's for me I don't want to have to defend my decision for the rest of my life. I agree that chemo is no guarantee that cancer won't return in some form but that's the risk I will choose to take. I've had the surgery and am open to doing radiotherapy and hormone therapy for 5 yrs so am not totally refusing treatment. Sick of thinking about it, it's all I do! Need to get back to oncologist and make this decision - will happen this coming week.
