Alaska Angel,
As I recall, you are a stage 1 no node involvement gal. I follow your trek to Seattle to get treatment, etc.
Today's sad news regarding the leukemia, from over-treatment of chemo, illustrates my consistent position of using as little drastic action as possible. I fear chemo and radiation. Both of these agents, though useful and necessary for most bc patients, can have enormous bad cumulative reaction later on. My best friend died of excess radiation and not from cancer, just to illustrate the point.
Therefore, not all strongest medications are good for all. We must weigh each situation rationally, with cool head, and not emotionally.
