Should I do chemo and radiation at 72 if no cancer spread was found?

Corliss I start chemo Monday and I also having trouble with it but everyone I talk to says it is over quicker than we think we fear whatever don’t know and we don’t know how we will react to the chemo once we know we can deal and get thru it. The more I read here of tge younger women here with young kids they are caring for I decided if they can get thru it I can too. We got this Corliss 💪

Thanks for your support, yes we can.

I have so many other health issues that I’m just afraid of what the side effects will be.

I just had a lumpectomy on the 25th of September. I’m waiting for path results and know I will be going through the same feelings as you.

This is such a difficult decision that many face after receiving mixed news - it's completely understandable to feel conflicted about additional treatment when the surgery results were encouraging. These feelings about weighing treatment benefits against quality of life concerns are very common and valid. Consider discussing your specific concerns and values with your oncology team, and perhaps seeking a second opinion if it would help you feel more confident in whatever decision feels right for you.
