Hi, I was stage 1, Grade 3 HER2+ Es- PR-. Had lumpectomy so had to do radiotherapy as well as chemo and 12 months herceptin. Radiotherapy was fine after chemo. My personal thinking was that I wanted to do everything I could to prevent recurrence.
Exactly hun. While the main oncologist felt I didn't meet the guidelines for radiotherapy another oncologist felt I am borderline. If I do not do radiotherapy after chemo I will be left to wonder if I have given myself the best. I feel that I can deal with radiotherapy better than chemo which goes to the inside of me. Although I had some tell me radiotherapy was harder than chemo. We are all different I guess.
How did you feel about radiotherapy? It sounds easier than chemo for you? xx
