28 unsure on what treatment plan to take
I’m 28 I was diagnosed on the 11th of November 2019. I’m living in Busselton and being treated in Bunbury but have to go to Perth for some appointments. I don’t know the lingo as it’s all very fresh. ...

So it sounds like you'd be up for the same test as I had if you could afford it.
It's a tough one, and very individual. I had extenuating circumstances which led my oncologist and myself to think that the test was a good idea. It showed that chemo would be beneficial so I went ahead and did it. It was hard, but I have no regrets. I am comforted by the fact that I have done everything I could.
Is there someone else with whom you could talk this over? Have you been referred to a cancer specific counsellor? Do you see a psychologist? Have a breastcare nurse? Given you want to have kids I think it's really important to make a decision you're comfortable with.
@JJ70 and @suburbangirl might have some pointers for someone to talk to in Perth as well.
Hang in there sweets, you'll work it out. K xox
