It is a very personal decision. As you can see from my treating history, I opted not to do chemo. It hinges on your gut feeling whether all offending cancer cells have been removed, your age, the other factors including whether you are on anti estrogen meds, amount of excercise, etc. Age is also a very important factor. Good luck to you.
