To chemo or not to chemo
Hi there, any thoughts on this would be appreciated. My early breast cancer is: no node involvement, no blood / vascular involvement detected, HER2 negative. I've had a complete single mastectomy...
Yeah, that's basically what the onco said. She also said "I can't guarantee it will be a benefit to you - but I can guarantee you'll have long term toxicity from chemo." ...so it's pretty hard to like the idea. What a shock, I went in there very naive - thinking chemo - especially early - was basically a cure. I hadn't heard about all the long term effects until she told me. Now I'm trying to absorb a complete change of perspective, while trying to make a decision. Bleh!
