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 ...

@Pommy8 this is an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn’t do chemo for such a small percentage. I didn’t actually do it because my onc said the hormone blockers would give me a better chance than chemo.
I know it helps in lots of cases, but not in all. My onc said lots of patients tend to be over treated, and chemo damages other vital parts of the body for good.
In terms of it getting rid of all the cancer cells, it’s already been confirmed by many specialists that we all have cancer cells in our bodies at any given time, so in that case it seems kind of pointless anyway for such a small percentage. I think it’s more important to find out what could have caused the cancer in the first place, and focus on fixing that.
