Hello Charlloo05 and a big welcome to Cancer Chat,
It must be really difficult to know what to do when being told your results have come back borderline and you are having to choose whether to have chemotherapy or not. Even though your oncologist has said it would ultimately be your choice, perhaps he or she could give you more detailed information on what the pros and cons might be and what would be the most beneficial option for you.
Our general page on chemotherapy will give you some useful information on what to expect from treatment should you opt to have chemotherapy.
It might be a good idea to talk things through with our cancer nurses by ringing their free helpline on 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. They won't be able to tell you what to do but it may be helpful to talk to them about your different options.
I hope that whatever you decide it will be the best possible solution for you. Hopefully you will hear from other ladies here who have been faced with a similar decision before and they will be along shortly to share their experience with you.
Best wishes,
Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
