Hello, i am still trying to figure out how to use this forum and can not find your post but did want you to know that someone is willing to write you back. i am a new diagnosed breast cancer and will need both chemo and radiation and Herceptin follow-up. I can understand your thoughts on taking chemo because the treatment sounds detrimental and can have hugh negative side effects. It is definitly a personel decision. For me it was looking at the numbers of survival with and without chemo. This is definitely going to be rocky road to walk and finding a support system will be invaluable. prariewatcher
