Chemo or not to have Chemo

Vsai

Hi I wanted to know if anyone decided not to have chemo with a score of 28 on onco type test. I have been diagnosed with BC stage 1 Er+ and Her2-grade 3 with a very small lump 6.5 mm with Lymph Nodes clear and margins clear . I am 64 and have type to diabetes which is well controlled. I am petrified about Chemo especially with Covid 19 and other side effects . Love to hear from anyone who decided not to have Chemo and doing well .

  • Hello Vsai

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's understandable that you're worried about treatment particularly with the Covid19 situation these past few months. 
    We do have quite a number of ladies here who have had breast cancer and I hope that some of them will post to say Hello! and share their experiences with you. 

    I wonder if you might find it helpful to talk things through with one of our nurses? I'm sure that they would be able to give you some information and answer any questions to help you make the right decision about your treatment options. You can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
