Anyone not taking chemo ?
I was diagnose with breast cancer on my left breast and went for operation on 30 March, and one of the 3 sentinel notes taken has cancer. So I went for the second operation to take more the lymph nod...

@Socoda Cath thanks for sharing your story, that's interesting! I actually think your treatment is spot on for your diagnosis. Interesting about the skin test for recurrence, I hadn't heard of that before. You know I don't get this Breast Cancer thing, I guess none of us do. But I don't get how I went from my 3rd year checkup all clear to my 4th year checkup with Stage 2 Grade 3 2.5cm Aggressive tumor. Knowing what I know now, I would have had a mastectomy/recon in 2011 and I believe would have beat a recurrence and wouldnt have had to do chemo.
My Mum had BC at 40, mastectomy with NO TREATMENT in those days and lived 26 years passed away unrelated. Certainly interesting and in some ways, its more complex these days. So many of us don't have a choice with treatment, so we roll with what we have to do.
After 6yrs I am so glad to be on my way to 2yrs clear for the 2nd time LOL. We wonder how on earth we will get through it all, but WOW do we!!! Nobody knows the depth or the courage it takes but all of us here!
