Hi I recently had left sided mastectomy my Cancer being stage 2 HRT2 negative,I had cancer cells in one node and the further nodes I think 6 was all clear.I am prob doing the optima test and I really dont want to have chemo but if I have to I will.Im quite confused how it all works but the surgeon said that my type of cancer is a grey area as to weather chemo is benificial.
Any advice please
Hi, hoped I could ask you a question. I know your post was a good while back. I am ER+ HER2- with four positive lymph nodes. I have had mastectomy and lymph node clearance. I’ve been offered to take part in optima trial. I am going in circles. I don’t want chemo but am afraid incase I need it! I feel like my oncologist is wanting me to pick the trial but of course can’t be seen to be influencing my decision. I told her today I’m just bypassing trial and opting for chemo but she put me into doubt again. I know everyone is different but do you have any regrets re not having chemo? I hope you are well.
