Hi,

of course it's a very personal choice. Your tumour was very small and thank goodness you have clear nodes.

I did have chemotherapy, what swung it for me was when my onco said they couldn't rule out stray microscopic cells.....

I hope you can come to a decision that suits you...xxxx

Hi, this is a very personal decision and everything is very overwhelming and frightening especially in the beginning, my advice would be to have faith in what your drs say is the best treatment for you and go with it, they know what they are doing....the problem with cancers like this are possible  microcells which can have spread in the body even before breast cancer is diagnosed, they are so tiny that  they cannot be picked up or seen  by tests and unfortunately if they are not eradicated they can cause a recurrance of cancer somewhere else in the body, even many years later! in someone so young the goal is to kill off all these cancer cells with chemo and therefore reduce the risk of recurrance in the future, and ensure a long and cancer free life....for me this would be the only way to go, personally i could not live with  the risk........chemo is certainly not easy or pleasant, but it does save lives and its only a chapter in the book and a temporary thing.....i hope you make the right decision for you and all the best for your future.xxx

Hi mommyto5boys.

I was diagnosed with tnbc in February too..

Also had chemo treatment then op in July,I haven't been given the choice of chemo just radiotherapy.

Yes it's a personal choice but but your oncologist is looking after you .

Just makes me wonder if my team have looked after me properly
