No chemo
Hi,
I have read so many here who have been down the surgery +/- chemo/rad path but not so many who have not had chemo as part of their treatment plan. Discussion with my surgeon and my own research...

Had the cancer not made it into my sentinel lymph node I would have considered not having chemo. I think its a personal choice where you have weigh up the benefits vrs the draw backs and your age, lifestyle, and any inherited gene disposition to cancer. Mine was a one off, with no relatives who have had breast cancer at all. I am still young at 53 and able to recover from the chemo hopefully with no lasting effects so I figured it was good insurance to have it done now and less worry of getting secondary cancer as I get older.
