Hi all,
I had a double mascectomy in October and 4 nodes right and 1 on the left removed. There was only a speck in one node on the right. Do the consensus was that they had got all the cancer.
the onc doctors said that I was in a grey area as to whether I would get any benefit from both chemo or radiation.
Then they talked about the Genomic tests and I decided it may give more evidence one way or the other.
Had the endopredict test which came back high likelihood of another cancer in the next 5 to 10 years.
However I have been extremely unwell after 2 of 4 chemo treatments in which I have ended hospitalised both treatments for just under a week each. I am now not so sure about continuing with the chemo as I really don’t have cancer anymore and it has made me so sick.
I don’t really know what the endopredict has told me other than the boobs I had removed had some pretty nasty cancers????
probably won’t continue with chemo and wait and see if something changes?
any advice welcome
