I've never had either, but chemo and radiation can be quite tolerable from what I've heard. It's such a complicated set of decisions to make that the only thing I've learned since a lumpectomy last fall is that there are no right answers, just choices that 'feel more right' than others. And a decision to not endlessly second-guess however it turns out. But it's not easy either way.

Thank you for your encouragement...I also felt the treatment would kill me
faster than the cancer would catch up to me.
