Breast cancer stage 0

Last reply: 11 July 2023 11:15

Hi
I am wondering is there anyone on here that has experienced or is experiencing the overwhelming decision of receiving chemo or not with stage 0 cancer diagnosis?
I am in this situation right now.I have had my surgery and 2 lymhnodes removed
1 of them had a couple of cells but overall I'm feeling good but oncologist recommends chemo and I'm really struggling to decide what's the right decision.

Hi Wiv,

Thankyou for posting on the Online Community. I wonder if you could call one of the nurses on our Support Line to discuss this, with a little more detail we may be able to offer you some advice and support.  Our Support Line number is 1800 200 700, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.

We would also suggest that you speak with your oncologist and your clinical nurse specialist about their decision and why they are recommending chemotherapy for you.

Kind regards,

Cancer Nurse
