Hi Greg,
I am glad that you and your wife have arrived at this site but sorry that you had to join us. I am 53 but have been battling bc for 20 years now. I had bc first 20 years ago and we hit it "hard" with CAF. I lasted 10 years before I got bc in the other breast. The second time treatment was just a mastectomy and I lasted 7 years before I had mets - 3 1/2 years ago.
I have learned over time that there are so many new options and that the hitting it "hard" does not always mean using the chemos with the strongest side effects. Your wife has options and in my opinion making a choice based on many opinions / views from "top" experts in bc who treat many young women will make the choice easier. There is no one right choice or we would all pick it. This science is moving fast and some are more up to date than others on the latest treatments and findings. I have come to believe that the most harsh treatment (side effects wise) is not always the best medicine. That said, some times it is.
Best of luck to you and your wife.
Sincerely, Carolyn
