My "choices" regarding treatment spelt out
So on Thursday I had my first appointment with my oncologist My details were keyed into his computer and I was spit out as a statistic. My oncologist mentioned that he would respect any "choices" I ...
I also chose to 'throw everything at it'. Right mastectomy with full node clearance (zero positive) stage 2 grade 2 IDC 9cm of multifocal tumor, one area of close margin. I've had 6 cycles of chemo and will soon start 30 rads and 10 yrs hormone. Chemo was horrid, but not as bad as I expected. Would I do it again... absolutely! For me, I couldn't bear the thought of regret if I ever get a reoccurance. At least I will know I've done all I can. I was terrified of chemo, but I got through it. It took 5 months of my life but hopefully has given me many years.
