Breast Cancer Now Forum

Love this. Agree with all other comments. I think I’m one of the one’s fleeing a three legged mountain lion, as my smallish lump has been surgically removed without a mastectomy and I’m having to have ‘just’ 4 chemo sessions and radiotherapy. Whilst I fully realise I am lucky as it was discovered really early, it’s still not easy! I’ve just had my second chemo session, so still running up the mountain, I can’t wait to reach the top and find that bear!  ... View more

I’m in the same situation now. I’m  currently week 5 post op and have to decide if I want to have Chemotherapy prior to Radiotherapy.

What to do?? How do I decide? I’m 56 and, like you Daffydilly, I have grandchildren I’d like to see grow up. But still finding the decision really hard.

Decisions decisions...anyone been in the same situation? What did you decide? ... View more
