My Story
My dearest friend Mary has just been diagnosed with Invasive Lobular Cancer on the left side of her breast. Prognosis is quite good where surgeon and oncologists believe they can shrink it then remove it with a mastectomy. They are confident she will recover fully. The problem is she is in two minds whether to have chemo and herceptin or go alternative. She feels it will only cause other issues down the track. We lost our friend Monica about a year ago who fort breast cancer for about 8 years where we saw her body eventually been taken over with the cancer. We need to make a decision. Does she take a chance with alternative, or does she take a chance having further side effects and potential secondary cancer as a result of the chemo? Would love to have some feedback.
