I was diagnosed with breast cancer recently and had a lumpectomy to remove cancer lump plus take cells around lump also blue dye injected to trace lymph nodes.

i waited 10 days for results and was told this week cells were clear and lymph nodes clear.

Next step is to discuss treatment with the oncologist for chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Am discussing with 

However I am ok about the radiation treatment which is localised to my breast but am unsure about the chemotherapy.

I saw what chemotherapy did to my husband last year after his bowel cancer he had hi

bowel removed, a stoma bag plus radiation treatment and tablet chemotherapy.  He did quite well considering and the last part of his treatment was 6 sessions of intravenous chemotherapy.  He had 2 lots and side effects were feeling cold, tingling in his face, nausea feeling and poor appetite.  After his 3rd dose he starting vomiting green fluid I took him to Hospital he was very tired and couldn't walk so I parked at the front of the hospital went in to get a wheelchair and managed to put him in it and wheel him inside.  I'd rang ahead and they knew he was coming he was picked up by a nurse and wheeled into the unit.  After I'd parked my car correctly I went in and he was rushed through and put on fluid drips and given medication.  He was admitted to a ward and a consultant was dealing with him.  Each day he got worse after pumping him with strong drugs etc he was transferred to HDU and continued to get worse I was told he had  sepsis the infection was getting worse and winning against the medication.  After 8 days in Hospital I was told his organs were shutting down I called the family in and 2 days later he died.  It was a year since his first diagnosis.  He had to have chemotherapy for his cancer.

The cancer didn't kill him it was the infection due to poor immune system through chemotherapy.

Now as I have caught mine early and the cells and lymph nodes are clear I feel I don't need to have the chemotherapy but am ok with the radiotherapy.

I am discussing with oncologist next week.
