Hi
I have recently been diagnosed with stage 1 and have had a lumpectomy. I am now making decisions as to (any) further treatment.. When I expressed my desire not to have any further treatment (at this stage) other than 6 monthly check ups, the doctor didn't disagree. However, I feel that I should be "actively doing something" to try to prevent recurrence but the long term side effects of further treatment seem to (maybe) outweigh the possible short term benefit.. I am 58 and post menopausal.
Is there anyone else who has experience with lumpectomy only?
