Are you ever free of breast cancer?

@ebabor oncotype was 28. Not high but the figures I got from 2 doctors was chemo would reduce chance of distant metastasis by 17-20%. Less than double digits I wouldn’t have done it but this was in that rock/hard place area. I still have low lymph count over 2 1/2 years later so may be permanent damage. Messed up my mouth big time - still get sores and have had 4 crowns since then. I have no appetite and lost a lot of sense of taste still. Still feel less strong than before - can’t do what I used to. Did get hair back (good) but thinner and of course ai worsens that. Overall, I’m not doing bad, it’s just all this low level stuff that could be residual chemo, could be ai, could be age.

@mistymar thank you for sharing. I’m 74 and Onco score of 26. My MO wanted me to do chemo but I declined. I was afraid of serious long term side effects. Did radiation 16 rounds and done. Not much side effects currently but I just finished last Thursday. Will start AI beginning of July. Praying for little side effects. Prayers for your strength and recovery
