I'm afraid we don't keep personal data, so I can't tell you what happened to anyone after treatment.
The idea of adjuvant (additional) chemotherapy after surgery is to increase the overall success rate of treatment by reducing the risk of the cancer coming back. Some people may do ok with surgery alone, but unfortunately not everyone will. And some people may benefit from chemotherapy while some may have it without benefiting. This makes deciding whether to have it difficult.
I wondered about the 10% figure and what it means. Might it be that your doctors think that ten out of every hundred people in a similar sort of situation would benefit? I am not sure, but if you aren't either, because it can be so hard to take everything in, I think it would be a good idea to check it with your doctors.
If anyone else comes along and posts about their or someone else's experience, do bear in mind that although it can be useful to hear from them, small numbers of people don't really add up to much in statistical terms and can't tell you what will happen to you. If you need more information talk to your specialist team and ask them what the data/evidence is.
If you want to talk anything over, please give us a ring on Freephone 0808 800 4040, we are around weekdays from 9-5.
