I had my first apt with oncology today and I was under the impression I was going to get the details of my treatment plan and when my chemo would start (surgeon has told me I'd more than likely be getting chemo). The oncologist has asked me to place myself on the scale - 1) let's through everything at it to give me as much peace of mind as possible... 2) let's have a look at the risks and benefits before we make a decision here!

For my bc type, size and age bracket, chemo would only give me a 9% reduced risk of no recurrence. So that's a 90-91% chance of not working. That's poor odds for such a tough treatment. 

Have anyone else on here been given the option? The oncologist said I wouldn't be mad to not have chemo but that it's a decision we must reach together and he's unable to make it for me.
