In my opinion and my choice, I'd rather throw everything at my cancer than not. I trust the doctors advice 100% as they are the experts not me. Also, I have gone through the public system for everything and have had private doctors, hospital and treatment centres involved in my care. No complaints. No delays, no added financial stress on medical treatment.
Also, docs keep telling me I am too young (52) which I find amusing but when you sit in a waiting room full of over 70 yos that makes so sense.
Diagnosis 7 Dec 23 - stage 2 dcis er/pr + HER- mastectomy & aux 27/2/24. 17/6 nodes removed. And idc cells as well. Done chemo and rads (finished 4/10/24). I was fortunate to have very minimal side effects from all treatment so far. Just hair loss, nausea and fatigue. (Chemo AC mostly). Don't let the thought of chemo scare you if it does. It's better to be cautious than not. Idc can spread quickly.
