Hi @Cora
None of this is easy that’s for sure.
I had faith in my medical team and followed all their recommendations.
Mastectomy , radiotherapy and now hormone tablets for at least 5 years.
I didn’t have to have chemotherapy but would have had it if recommended.
I think the perspective from @Fufan above is a good one - I am now 2 years down the track from my diagnosis and the terror and anxiety I felt at the time is a receding memory.
I am having some side effects from the hormone tablets but am determined to do all I can to continue with them as I want to give myself the best chance of survival.
Take care.
