No such thing as talking too much here @BettyBoo!
Cancer is scary no matter what size or treatment. However you'll be surprised how quickly things become routine.
It's out now, so take a deep breath and slow things down until you're clear and ready to make your decision. If you need to talk things through you can ask whatever questions you like here, have a vent or a worry, we've all been there and understand. Talking to the nurse is a good idea, and you could always call the BCNA nurses on the helpline, 1800 500 258. They're super helpful.
No one can make you do anything, but almost everyone has the treatment their doctors recommend. The pulse is the thing, so keep your eyes on the prize. And after radiotherapy you can try the hormone therapy. Not everyone has side effects; you won't know if you don't try. Big hug, K xox
