Hi Judimam,
When i was first diagnosed i was shell shocked too,as my lump was small but wss told agressive which was only thing that made it stage 3, my first lymph node was suspicious but once i had a lumpdectomy and all other nodes removed and were clear was told only need radio therapy and tablets, I am much older than you 67 but a very young 67, am very fit and active andcome from a ,long living family with no cancer risks . Was told by onocologist he thought chemo would do me more harm than good as im very petite and could debiliate me lots. He felt the small extra percentage just wasnt worth the risk. Maybe if i was as young as you,might have said differently i dont know, but he said if nodes had been affected would have had to have had it. it seems like the ideas change as time goes on, So id wait till see onocologist, they seem to sometimes have a different idea on things, and often seem to reassure you m ore,june
