Hi Kim, good to have your thoughts on this. I also would rather not go through chemo again, and would like to do something to help make it less likely I'd have to. My girls are 14 and 16, and I don't want to put them or my husband through it again either.
I sort of know what you mean by it not reducing the risk of recurrence, and sort of don't! If you have little or no breast tissue left, doesn't that mean that it can't, or has less places to develop again in the first place?
