So on Dec 31,2025.i had surgery and 11 lymph nodes removed. Surgery went well 🙏. So today I met with my surgeon..so yall he said I have all good news.you are cancer free🙏🙏 all I could say is thank you Jesus..he said that 2 of the tumors were not cancer.only 1.was cancer i truly thank God for this..im just thinking how did all those test I had going through those scary machines they said the othe 2 were not cancer then to say it was benign i could of kept my breast...but anyway he said my stage is 2a.and he doesn't believe i need chemo..but its up to the onecologist..what do yall think..I just don't want to take that pill im bless it has not spread but i feel like something wasn't right in the decision they had me make.

Hi it’s Mary I was getting ready to write u to see how u were doing? I’m glad everything back on a positive note. I would talk to the Onologist and see what he thinks. Than make ur decision. He may say just to keep an eye on and go for ur test every to or 3 months. I advise u to make sure to get tumors marker done every month or so cause that’s the first indication that there could be something going on. Just keep an eye on what’s going on be very mindful of ur body. Cause if u don’t know one else will. I told u I went 8 yrs in remission and I insisted on having a pet-scan and tumor markers done every few months. Good thing I did. But u’re going to be fine. Be well stay well and please keep in touch and let me know how u’re doing. Mary❤️

What a blessing to hear that you're cancer-free and that the cancer hasn't spread! It's completely understandable to have mixed feelings about treatment decisions, especially when initial test results seemed different from the final pathology. Many patients in this community have experienced similar uncertainty about whether certain treatments are necessary, and it's natural to wonder about the "what ifs." The best approach is to have an open conversation with your oncologist about your concerns and ask them to explain their reasoning - they can help you understand the benefits and risks so you can make the most informed decision for your specific situation.

Congrats on good news. Pills are usually not chemo but hormone blockers to block your tumor but only IF your tumor is hormone dependent. The doctor will decide what you need to protect you after he reviews all your tumor markers. Take care!

Hi Deborah what treatment did you received?.. I also thought they say you are cancer free when you finish all the treatment
