Good morning 

I have secondary breast cancer & due to start the journey of planning for radiotherapy. 

I really want to not go through with it as there is no certainty it will not spread.

All the advice in the world does not make me want to go through with this.

I am 66 in October & feelnI would like to spend the next 4 yes enjoying what I have left with my partner, holidays,concerts3& spend my money now while I am physical able.

What do the other people

    I had breast cancer last year for the 2nd time which had spread to my lymph nodes (9 out of 20 were cancerous). I had 15 rounds of radiotherapy and it seems to have worked. My last CT scan was looking good. The treatment doesn't take long and the only side effect I had was feeling tired. It's worth giving it a try !
