Sorry to hear about your dilemma...it really is tricky to have to make a decision about what treatment to have hey? I guess the advice you are given is coming from experts who have dealt with this issue alot...so go with what they recommend.
I had mastectomy in Oct '13, then chemo which I finished in Jan '14...now on Tamoxifen. If this is the path you take, I found it to be quite doable - luckily they give you medication so you do not suffer nausea and really, apart from losing my hair (which was a big deal for me initially!) and a few hiccups along the way, it really was ok.
I do not know anything about your other option so rely on the specialist for further explanation I guess...or other ladies on here will reply.
Good luck with your decision...whatever option you go for will be the right one! Jenny x
