Hello, I was diagnosed a few months ago with her2 stage 111 breast cancer that is also in my lymph nodes. I turned down all treatment after seeing what chemo did to 3 of my siblings. They passed away within 6 months. I dont know how long I have left. It's a little scary.

This is such a difficult and personal decision, and it's completely understandable to feel scared while navigating these choices. Many people in this community have faced similar crossroads and found strength in sharing their experiences and supporting each other through uncertainty. Consider connecting with others here who may have insights about different paths forward, and remember that having open conversations with healthcare providers about all available options can help ensure any decisions align with personal values and circumstances.

Hi Christine, I am so very sorry for what you are going through. This is all very hard. Get a second opinion, do your research and you may find something that you will be ok with. These are extreme difficult times we deal with. Prayers for you ❤️💕

I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I was diagnosed in 2015 with Cancer in my right breast. I had a lumpectomy in 2016. My right breast was diagnosed with reoccurring cancer and was lined up for a partial mastectomy. Not certain what to do now as im leaning towards doing nothing.
