Anyone not taking chemo ?

Thanks @primek . Hi @Alola - Kath asked if I could share my experience with you and I certainly can. Last June I had a single skin and nipple sparing mastectomy which came back as Er+, Pr+, Her2-, Stage 2 Grade 1 cancer. I had four nodes removed all clear. When I went to my oncologist she told me I could have my breast tissue sent to America to see what my recurrence level might be. At that point in time they were classing my recurrence level as low. If it came back as high I would be having chemotherapy. I asked what would happen if it came back middle range and my oncologist told me she actually wasn't sure what would happen then but we would look at options if it occurred. So as they had already classed me as low chance of recurrence without the testing I decided to just not have the testing which meant no chemo. I also didn't have to have radiotherapy due to having had a full mastectomy. So I am currently on Tamoxifen for the next how every many years with no other treatment. I was a bit frightened at first as I thought that I was being left out of necessary treatment but it was explained to me that the chemo and radiotherapy would actually do more damage to my body. The hormone therapy is to starve any microscopic cancer cells so the cells can't grow. (Sometimes the hormone treatment doesn't work but its the best course of action). So I am quite happy to just be on my hormone therapy. I also consider myself very lucky not to have had chemo. Rest assured that your team of oncologist and radiotherapist are going to do their best for you and if they feel that chemo is not necessary for you it is because they truly believe that they are giving you the best course of treatment for your individual needs.   Big hugs to you.
