. Have seen the medical oncologist and know I will have hormone therapy as oestrogen + also radiation therapy still waiting for appointment. Oncologist says my choice to have Chemo but not recommended as only 1% advantage for survival.
@jomaree
For me it was 3% and I asked what else was on offer. Onc had said if it had been 8% he would've convinced me to have chemo. Trust in yourself
Hormone treatment is a long drawn out affair.
Have you seen the booklet from BCNA?
