Sorry to see you here on the forum, @"k@th3r1n3" - but you'll find a wealth of information here on every aspect of Breast Cancer, how the system works & anything relating to treatment & side effects.

I was lucky to avoid the chemo as my tumours were found early & were small & removed with good clearance & no involvement in the nodes.
All the best with your treatment xx
