I'm Struggling With This Question. Of Those Who Had Recurrences, Did You Finish Chemo, Radiation, Hormone Inhibitors Recommended By Drs?
I have decided to follow my drs recommendations. I'm stage 11A onco score 40 grade 3 IDC. Currently in treatment. It is scary reading of the recurrence others are experiencing.

I had the same questions - my onco score was 27 - struggled with whether to get chemo or not but wound up getting it. I decided that because IF I had recurrence, at least I wont' regret not doing everything I could've done. Wish you the best! π
It's understandable to feel scared when reading about others' experiences with recurrence. Following your doctor's recommendations, as you're doing, is a strong step toward reducing the risk of recurrence.

I read here a lot about women who had double mastectomies, radiation and chemo and take Maintenace drugs and still got recurrences. Its awful how persistent and sinister this disease is. But as @A MyBCTeam Member pointed out I think if a woman does everything and finds it came back she won't have to second guess her decisions to have done it all. Especially early-stage cancers. If I did everything the first time and it came back, I think that would be the point where I wouldn't do it all again β€οΈI wish you the absolute best as you move through your radiation treatments @A MyBCTeam Member .
