Hi I was in the same situation 2 1/2 years ago . I decided against chemo after weighing up the pros and cons. 1.5% wasn’t enough for me to put myself and my family through chemo and possibly life long side effects. The numbers just didn’t add up . I think it’s always in the back of your mind if you made the right decision but for me I feel it was and don’t dwell on it. Who is to say my cancer wouldn’t return with the chemo. I also thought if my oncologist thought it was what was needed she would have said . It’s a tough decision , I wish you well with whatever you decide. Best wishes nicky 

Hi Nicky

Thank you so much for responding. This is the toughest decision I have been faced with so far in life. 
 

I'm still undecided. There are a couple of key questions I have for oncologist. But I do realise, like you said, that 1.5% is so low. And that the long term effects of chemo could leave me in a worse position! 
 

Reading your reply has really helped. Thank you again for taking the time. Could I just ask how old you are? I am due to turn 49 in September xxx
