Hi all,
Just recovering from mastectomy at the end of Jan. Diagnosed with stage 2 grade 2 ER+ / HER2- breast cancer. Lymph nodes were clear - yay!!
Pretty much told by my surgeon that surgery is the end of it and I'll just need Tamoxifen. I saw the oncologist last week and now have long wait for Oncotype result. Everyone is saying it's a nailed on low risk of recurrence which is obviously brilliant but I'm so unsure about NOT having chemo. Basically the surgeon, oncologist and breast nurse all thought I was a bit mad for wanting chemo even if low risk of recurrence. I'm only 45 with 2 kids and feel as if I want to throw the kitchen sink at it now so I can be at peace knowing I couldn't do any more. Does anyone have any advice for me before I see the oncologist again?
many thanks,
A x
