You absolutely do not know how your body will react to treatment.
I just wanted the cancer out and gone. I wanted to throw everything at the cancer.
I don't know what my future is, but I am optimistic.
I was diagnosed Stage 2, Grade 3 hormone sensitive BC. Feb 2020.
I had Mastectomy with axillary clearance, Chemotherapy for 20weeks and Radiotherapy for 5 weeks.
Oral Aromatase Inhibitors for 5-10 years.
I'm here to say I survived these treatments in reasonable condition.
I did not have any nausea with Chemo, I did not lose my hair (I used the cold cap) No burning to the skin with R/T.
I had no severe side effects. All side effects were manageable. Nothing like the movies.
I was probably very lucky, compared to other ladies here.
All the best as you move forward, whatever your choices.
