Hi @charlotte1953 . I had a similar BC diagnosis in December (mine was 4.5cm+ with 3 nodes but I don't have large breasts). I had a single mastectomy and I am currently undergoing AC/Paclitaxel chemo from which I will go on to rads and hormone therapy. I won't lie and say chemo is easy but you can get through it - some will suffer, others will sail through it. My decision to go with it was based on the fact that I don't want a recurrence and think that if I'd just put up with the chemo, I would have had longer. I always forget who put the little gem of statistics about women in a room and getting out, and those left still having cancer but if she reads this, please repost!
