Chemo decision
hi all i had mastectomy on 21st December- it was lobular 55mm and multiple lesions as a result I definitely need radiotherapy and hormone blocker however they are suggesting I also have chemo due ...
Dear @Coops
A lot happening in a short time and it can be hard to know what’s best. Chemo is a daunting thought for anyone, we’d all prefer not to do it. If it was me (Mastectomy and axillary clearance, one lymph node positive), I’d do it - 6-7 percent doesn’t sound much but as my surgeon said, every percentage point counts. Most people get some comfort from doing everything they can to ensure that go through bc once! Chemo stretches ahead alarmingly but once started, you are on your way to the end of it. Best wishes.
