Hi I was diagnosed with stage2 grade2 her positive breast cancer I had a lumpectomy and sentinel lymph biopsy the margins were clear and my lymph clear so they got it all but they still recommended that I do chemo along with radium I've done 2 cmf chemo which is supposed to be a less intense chemo but honestly it definitely seems intense to me I've been told the effects of the chemo will be worse when I start the radium which I'm starting on the 11th November and I have 3 small children and each chemo I've done I've not been able to look after them for 4 days after it so I have decided to stop the chemo and just do the radium I'm wondering if anyone else has stopped chemo or has been through the same thing

    Hi Kats,

    Welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your chemo nd, are thinking of stopping it. Have you discussed this with your care team?

    There are people who have discontinued chemo for various reasons, but there are other treatments and, it would certainly be well worth your time discussing your problems with them.

    Do please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Joamine xx
