Chemo or not

Hi all hoping for some advice ,Breast cancer stage 2 and lymph node cancer . I’ve already had surgery to remove the cancer from the breast and 13 lymph nodes removed ,I also had a reduction in the one breast unfortunately they found pre cancer in that one as well . I was offered the optima trial but on further testing not enough cancer cells were found so I can’t do the trial . I have been left with the do I or don’t I have chemo as my percentage rate without chemo is  88%and with chemo 90% chance of cancer not coming back . Do I put myself through 6 months of treatment or just have hormone treatment with radiotherapy . Thank you in advance.

  • Hi the choice is yours but chemotherapy goes all round the body it gets everywhere,?? Radiotherapy is aimed at certain areas (easy to miss a bit) hormone therapy it helps a bit. I know it varies with different people. I had hormone therapy before my kemo over 1st month on therapy nothing changed on cancer count, 1st month on kemo cancer count dropped a lot. What ever you choose good luck and best wishes.
