1st time blog
Gday beautiful pink sisters. Ive been reading this site for a couple of weeks & finally decided to do a post. New to all of this, Im learning lots from this site & other posts. It seems from what Ive read so far, that treatment is definitely much worse than the disease. Im concerned about chemo. I notice that most women do chemo then radiation. I had stage 2, 15mm lumpectomy surgery 29/1/2013. Clear surgical margin & lymph nodes removed were clear. Healing well. I have an appointment 1 month after surgery with a medical oncologist to discuss chemo. Id rather just go straight into radiotherapy. The way this is going, I wont be doing any treatment until over 3 months after surgery. Is that a long time to wait? Im 44 this year & live in Sydney. I dont want to do chemo. Ill do radiation only coz I have to. Does anyone say no to chemo? This all sounds soooooo awful. Justine
