@kmakm u have had a terrible time! I think you should definitely go with your gut. That is what I am doing with to do it not to do chemo.

I don’t need radiotherapy afterwards as everything was clear and I’m in a grey area so the chemo is more because I’m only 43 and to prevent recurrence. Most likely I will be in tamoxifen for 5 to 10 years afterwards too. I’m also wuite apprehensive about that as I am one of those people that seems to get horrible side effects on tablets. In my first 2 blood pressure tablets I got the 1% side effects and I have had horrible depression on some contraceptive pills.
