Hello everyone...My name is Melissa and I am a 31 who was diagnosed with Stage II Grade 3 breast cancer. I have no family history of cancer and I recently had a lumpectomy with a sentinel node biopsy. I just received the results back from the surgeon and he told me that it was negative for lymph node involvement and that I am Estrogen/ Progesterone+ and I am still waiting on the results back from the other hormone receptor. I have already seen the oncologist who is recommending chemo and radiation. I however am very leery about the chemo and would like to know have some feedback on what I should do. I am a mother of 4 who has been completely blessed in my life and had started really having some hormone issues about 5 years ago when I was diagnosed with PCOS(polycystic ovarian syndrome). I feel as though if the doctors really would have listened to me in regards to my testosterone issues and other things that were going on then things may have turned out differently but anyways I have serious doubts about the chemo and feel that getting my hormones in check will aleviate my chances of the cancer returning. I know that I am not a doctor so I would love to hear anyones feedback on this since maybe I am not fully understanding the nature of this beast. Thanks so much for any responses and God bless:)
