I had mastectomy then lymph node removal. Cancer in 2 out of 9 nodes. CT scan didn't detect cancer. Cancer low grade and slow growing but was large.
I have entered optima clinical trial and am awaiting results. This looks at stopping unnecessary chemotherapy.
I'm fit and healthy.
The side effects of chemotherapy really scare me. I'm trying to not let this cloud my judgement.
My question is what is the point of chemotherapy now? Is it just putting my body through a lot for something I may not need.
Will having radiotherapy and hormone suppressants be enough?
The long term effects of chemotherapy on me are unknown and no way of knowing if it will stop cancer.
Any advice would be appreciated
