Yes, I agree it's not the same if you're at Stage IV. John, thank you for your comments; I can imagine having a different way of looking at this question in that case. I was Grade 3, Stage II. Everyone's situations are different, so what feels right will vary from person to person.
Debbie, a lot of interesting and useful information from you, which I'll print off and refer to again.
I'm just back from my onc appointment. Other than Herceptin and anastrazole, I've finished what I guess is called primary treatment. I'd say that Hopeful's commnets sum up very well how I feel about not having tests. I came to this decision with the help of everyone's input, and am really grateful for the time you all took to help me out on this one.
