I'm not sure if anyone knows and of course we're all different, but, if TN is chemo always given if you have a recurrence? TN diagnosed 2013, had 11 Tax, then WLE with clear margins then 3 AC then 15 radiotherapy plus 4 boosters. Bit of a long road! Been called back from my mammogram last month and waiting for results of biopsy on same breast. Not looking good though. Anyway, if there is a recurrence I definitely want a masectomy and will talk about bi lateral although not sure if that makes any difference to whether or not you develop cancer. I really, really, really don't want chemo again though. It takes over everything, I'm left with peripheral neuropathy and took over a year to begin feeling even half normal again. It feels like we've just got back on an even keel (though the finances will never recover 🙂 ), making plans etc and now this. Anyone know or anyone who didn't have chemo with a recurrence?
