Hi Sue, it's times like these when you want to curl up in a ball and pretend it's all not real. My situation is a little different to yours but I too have been faced with the constant 'more bad or confusing news and hence decisions' at each new appointment I attend!
Something that helped me with the last big one was a counsellor that got me to change my thinking from 'what option is the right way to go' to 'which thing will I most regret NOT doing if the cancer does come back later'.
I am 34 and although I found chemo very unpleasant and to be honest I still struggle emotionally with my hair loss and early menopause symptoms, the peace of mind I got from knowing that at least I have done everything in my power to keep this thing from returning far outweighed all the negatives for me. But that was my thinking and everyones situation and BC is different. Either way you will make the right decision for you, you know yourself better than anyone else. Just give yourself a little more time to think on it and be gentle with yourself.
All the best xxx
