Chemo or not
Hi,
I am 3 weeks out from a bi lateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and only had sentinal nodes removed, one one each side.
I have recovered really well except a recurring seroma but it...
Hi Marney, My story is similar to Louise - just different year for the first diagnosis. I definately "lined up" with the second diagnosis. First time around the "add on" percentage of reoccurance over a 10 year period was not enough for me to opt to have chemo. Also my margins were clear and no lymp nodes were involved (that we knew of). If I knew at the first diagnosis what I did at the second - I would have definately had the test done to ascertain if chemo should have been undertaken. Keep asking questions of your oncologist XLeonie
