Its really hard weighing to have chemo or not....i have just had my first hit yesterday (10 may), for the second time as had 17 years ago and now recurrence which is now stage 4....was i pissed off, you betcha...had 6 months chemo, 2 months of radio and 5 years tamoxifen...and then thought yay, done and dusted.....
Rediagosed as stage 4 in may 2015, mets in spine, liver and lung and kept it at bay for 2 years til now.

I still feel I've done the right thing in having the chemo and then apparently will go back on a hormone tablet, probably extemasene.
So hugs to you, it will fall into place xx
