Do what you think is best for you. I was diagnosed 1st May 2023 with De Novo MBC and after a terrible experience with hospital doctor and breast nurse with terrible side effects of meds within 2 weeks, I stopped all treatment.

Pity I was refused radiation by hospital oncologist to begin with but found a way around him and now have a supportive radiation oncologist for palliative care. Have a meningioma that is growing which was ignored by hospital oncologist so my GP arranged a neurosurgeon to check it out. Yet again, this doctor thinks radiation will help. I am happy not to be in constant pain and illness due to a drug regime and look forward to getting up every morning to my normal daily routine.
