Like @Katie46, my oncologist recommended chemo (post mastectomy) - I had one malignant lymph node and the cancer type had shifted from the original tumour to the node (not metastasised but changed). Before seeing my oncologist, my surgeon said to remember that chemo might only improve my chances by a few points, but the few points could be really important. I did six months chemo. Chemo is no guarantee - nothing is really. You’ve had cancer once, there’s no
rule that says it can’t happen again. If I were to get cancer again, I may do chemo
again. I’m a bit addicted to living. I’d also want to know what other options are now available that weren’t nearly 12 years ago. I have a slightly irritating (no pain, little day to day impact) long term side effect from chemo, my organs are all fine. But as everyone says, this is hugely personal. The only one who needs to feel right about this is you. Best wishes whatever you decide.
