Hi Sarah,   Many thanks for your response it has been useful.   One moment I think radiotherapy is the best option as my chances of it coming back appear to be low - however, I do have a similar mind set to you that I don't want this thing to beat me.   My oncologist  says  I have a 2/100 (5 year) 4/100 (10 year chance of coming back - which does appear to be low.   But I should do anything I can to make sure that it dosen't come back.   I have a meeting with the Breast Nurse next week to discuss so hopefully this will help me decide.   I hope that all goes well with your treatment and that you continue to be positive x     ...

Has anyone else been in a similar situation? ... View more
