Hi @Della,
Good luck today.
I was stage 1, grade 3, hormone positive. I had 12 rounds of chemo and 1 month radium and now take tamoxifen. I never got sick with chemo. The steroids they gave me to help me not reject the chemo did affect me a bit emotionally but I got through it. Radium was fine, considerably easier for me. The fact you are here means your strong and probably much stronger than you think. My advice is just have a plan than provides you with the best chance and a plan that will leave you feeling that you did everything you could. Good luck with your decision. Let us know how you get on and what you decide.
