Hi,
I am also stage 3 and had never considered being on any kind of chemo unless there was a recurrance. I was able to have Herceptin for about 7 months before it affected my heart. I was wandering if beeing on chemo before a recurance would lessen the chances of it working if cancer should come back? Also wouldn't it weaken your system unneccesaily? I will have to ask my onc when I go in. It may be a mute point though as I have a lump that I go to see the surgeon about on the 25th.
I would be interested to hear your points on the reasons for the treatments.
Alice
