Hi Dmarkz,
My wife had a hysterectomy many years ago and just had a mastectomy one year ago. She did not want Chemo either, however they gave her a 1 mg pill per day of Anastrozole, which reduced the tumor by 50% prior to the mastectomy and she has been on that drug ever since. This drug targets the Estrogen in your body which is one of the main causes of cancer in women. You may wish to discuss this with your Oncologist as a less violent replacement for Chemo. Whatever you do, try to keep the faith, and good luck to you. Regards, Rick
