Declined treatment.
I'd really like to meet ladies who, although it was strongly suggested by their medical professionals that they have chemotherapy, they made the decision to decline any treatment.

My 2nd bout of breast cancer last year was classed as early b cancer again.All my body scans were clear so it appears they got it all and I'm ok and cancer free.The oncologist seems to think that Tamoxifen will give me the best chance of staying cancer free but no guarantees.I have to see my surgeon for a checkup every 3mths and yearly mammograms to the remaining breast ofcourse.But that's about it so not too bad.Most of the time I feel positive but it's only been one year so sometimes get abit down.It maybe worthwhile to do some research into diet and supplements.I've read alot on vit D and they have found it to be important for your immune system.Many people are deficient and so might help to take a supplement. I've also read about the benefits of flaxseed and how it might reduce tumour size.Obviously there is no magic pill but it's good to be proactive about your diet/health. I guess the doctors have a duty of care and have to offer you chemo even if there is the smallest %of cure.Ultimately it's your body and your decision.Many would say that yours is a brave one.If I was faced with another bout of cancer I really don't know what I would do.I don't think anyone can know unless they themselves are in that position.Best wishes to you and your lovely family.
