Thanks, ladies for your responses. When this problem popped up this morning the first thing my DH said was "what do the women on the HER@ message board think?" - he acknowleges your collective wisdom!


I did check in with the chemo nurse, who has me watching and waiting for any untoward increase in problems/symptoms. Regarding going to the "big guns" for treatment. Actually, my onc and I were in complete agreement from the get-go regarding chemo/rads for my situation for a number of reasons. It is true we all need to make our own decisions, and they are (and should be!) based on so much more than a given set of statistics. Our personalities, our support systems, and our anxieties...all these things play a part in our health, and all need to be taken into account in our decision making.

Thank you all - AGAIN! - for being here :-)
