Hi @dada, I had similar numbers to you and decided no chemo. For me, there was going to be too much collateral damage to healthy body parts (which can be life long) for less than 1% max benefit for my cancer outcome. My oncologist even said, ‘you probably don’t have cancer anymore ‘. Seemed weird to even be offered chemo when it’s so toxic and there might be no benefit whatsoever. My family were all smokers, yet no-one is offering them chemo just in case there are any cancer cells hiding somewhere. If my lymph nodes weren’t clear then I probably would have gone with chemo. Best wishes for your treatment and good luck with your decision. Xx
