I feel exactly the same about my treatment!.. I had a lumpectomy 6 weeks ago.. I don't want radiotherapy or chemotherapy.. not for the just in case reason anyway!.. I had samples taken at the time of surgery and have been given the all clear.. I don't want to do anything but the hormone medication as my cancer is hormone produced.. I have to decide by Thursday  

Hi ladies,

Have you asked your oncologist's the % of benefit for each treatment? For me I was told 85% for the surgery, 7% for radiotherapy and 1 or 2% for the hormone therapy. I've decided not to have the hormone therapy as I have joint issues already and don't want to make it worse. I felt 7% for the radiotherapy was a worthwhile benefit. 

Good luck with your decisions.

I rang and told them this morning , no chemo thanks but I'll have the hormone and radiotherapy,  at the end of the day it's your decision, and yours alone , you just never know whether to take that gamble, but that's just life , its one big gamble ,everytime you step outside your front door , we could, in theory , on one hand have a 100% cancer free  body and in the other hand have a few rogue cells lurking about , I'm willing to take my chances and if there is a few little buggas left hopefully the treatment that I've chosen should do their job and combat that , I hope you don't struggle too hard on trying to make the right decision for you , take care of yourself , jessie xxx

Hiya , I was only told the individual percentage for chemo which was 8%, I'm not sure about the other 2 therapies I'll be having to be honest , thanks , take care , jessie xx

Hello I'm in the same position will find out end of week if I got to have chemo very worried if I have got to not happy 

Hi I had Grade 3, Stage 1 Oestrogen Fed Invasive Ductal Carcicoma, lymph node Negative and her2- 20mm

I  finished chemo on the 24th April after 6 rounds of FEC-t and 8 Days of radiotherapy' . I'm now on Prostap injections and Anastrole tablets.

i am 38, pre cancer I was super fit, don't smoke or drink and have 2 sons.

when I was told that Chemo was on the cards I was initially gutted, I had huge long blonde wonderful hair, and didn't want to look unwell or feel awful.

I used the cold cap so Kept 60 percent of my hair, it was really tough but do-able. I saw it as a Safety net, and thought while I was in it I may aswel do it.

Everyone's opinions and decisions are different, I can understand how you feel.

I do want to say though that I'm through it and I feel like me again. I wish you well xxx
