Hoping the surgeon is right

Hi @Makday, my cancer was a bit different to yours, lumpectomy, clear nodes. My surgeon is highly respected and prior to surgery hoped I wouldn’t need chemo. Anyway, after surgery and the results she sent me off to a chemo oncologist. Basically the outcome of that expensive chat was, you probably don’t have cancer anymore, but can have chemo which might improve your 10 year outcome by a maximum of 2%. For many reasons I decided the potential maximum benefit of chemo wasn’t worth the known decline in quality of life. So, I just went with the radiation. My experience with the BCN nurses was similar to yours. I even rang them with a question, they suggested I come to the hospital, but I was in no condition to drive, and didn’t really have the emotional stability for taxis. Best wishes for you treatment. Xx
