Hi Mona, yes very true, I guess thats why it has taken me so long to get on this website and start talking about my experience as I felt selfish talking about my situation when others are going through so much more. I was told by my doctor that I needed to have 4 months of chemo. It wasn't until I did the research into the side effects(both short and long term) and devastation that the drugs cause to your body that I became so against it. Having the Oncotype DX test relieved the feelings of guilt I had about fears of it returning because of the decision I had made not to have the chemo.
Treatment not only depends on the type of cancer you have but also the doctor you have, there are so many different opinions from different doctors. At the end of the day, I'm glad I did my research and sought other options available.
