To have chemo or not
Has any one decided to not do chemo? Be gentle! I had a 25mm idc removed, margins not clear of dcis, further excision, dcis still present. ER/PR +,HER2 negative, no traces in the 3 sentinel nodes. ...

Hi my oncologist advised me chemo would be barely worthwhile as I had eR positive lobular cancer not in my lymph nodes and very slow growing grade 2.
She said that hormone therapy was extremely important for at least 5 years so I am concentrating on following that recommendation.
Everyone is different and your medical team will make recommendations on your unique circumstances .
Some people don’t have bad side effects from chemo and some do - the choice whether to follow the medical advice is yours but I know if I got a recurrence and I hadn’t done everything I could to not get that I’d be upset with myself.
Take care 🌺
