Hi Sue - your Oncologist has been very thorough in giving you all the options. You're gathering encouragement and opinions from family and friends to help you decide what is the best option for you.
Robyn mentioned that she chose the chemo option as she wanted to give it all. I admire Robyn for that.
I didn't choose chemo as the gain was less than 3%. I asked the Oncologist at the initial appointment if I missed the chemo option what was the preferred course of treatment for me.
At present I'm having issues, which I'm not sure if they were already simmering or if medication has brought it on, so the chemo option may come back into the equation.................that will be discussed next week when I have my review.
I've also had a mastectomy which was immediate, I think your journey has been lumpectomy and now mastectomy. I've had expander and changeover surgery and extremely pleased with the result.
At the end of the day you have to find time to reflect and decide what is best for you both emotionally and physically...............it's not easy!
I wish you well and I'm sure you will have the confidence to make a decision that you'll be happy with.
Take care
Christine
