Hi 

I had stage 2 lump removed from previous mascectomy side with 14 lymph nodes all clear 4 weeks ago. My oncologist tells me I definitely need radiotherapy. He also offered adjuvant chemo but as a choice. I have to tell him on Monday (day after tomorrow!). He said the benefit against it recurring if having chemo is 3.9 per cent maximum. This seems very small but I don't really know and wonder what would the figure need to be for chemo to be recommended. Considering I'm told I definitely need radiotherapy but then given a choice for chemo makes me wonder if it's really worth the side effects. Question is (at last!), Is this as small a benefit as appears to someone not in that field of work?

For info, in 2014 I had cancer both sides, one side successful lumpectomy and radiotherapy. Other side mascectomy (this side recurring as above). Also took Anastrasole for 7 years, just stopped due to this episode. 

Thank you.
