Stage 2/ grade 2 - is chemo required?
Hi all. I'm new here and just had my lumpectomy on 16/1/23. Reports mentioned 40mm tumour on right breast. Re-excision is required to obtain a clear margin and one lymph node is involved (has cancer)...

Hi @Annalyn,
Age also plays a factor for chemo so it, along with the other factors mentioned, could tip you over into chemo.
I've got a port. I was scared to have one as I hate the idea of a foreign body in me. Now that it's in, I still think it's a gory concept but I wouldn't want it any other way (I'm not paid by PowerPort btw...). The fentanyl twilight they give you is a nice nap, too. Still, it's absolutely your choice and your unique medical circumstances, so no judgement here.
Best wishes. The ladies here are such a great support.
