Radiation decision
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed 5 months ago with stage 3 triple positive (er+, pr+, and Her2+). I was told I needed the full package deal - surgery, 6 months chemo, radiation, Herceptin for 1 year...
Yes @micaela a common theme among the ladies here is that a BC diagnosis often causes a “re prioritisation “ which is not surprising because it forces us to think about our own mortality.
I have learnt to say “no “ more and to think seriously about what is important to me.
I have played the “ cancer card” on occasions as it is a reality for me that I just don’t have the physical and mental energy I had pre diagnosis.
I am lucky I am semi retired at 63 so that has helped me slow down and smell the roses.
