I´m leaving...
... the hospital today.
The good news are all the tissue the removed was healty, no trace of cancer. And my new silikon breast looks and feels like eigthteen. :-)
The Doctors don´t recommend a radiation therapy anymore ("you don´t need it") but still recommend on the chemotherapy (wich I still don´t want).
Further more they recommend me to a study at the Collone University were they reserce the breast cancer inheritage (sorry probely bad english). And since the cancer has hormon receptors the recommend a anti hormon therapy.
I´m still debating with my self about the chemotherapy and even the doctors have to admit that the procentage of recovering for me will increase with chemotherapy only by 1 - 3%. But since it increases they are moraly suppose to recommend it.
So go figgure your self...
It is a hard discission to make.

And off course I thought about that it would be the worste if I couldn´t see them grow up.
You said: "As a mother of a young child I would risk that all over again and hit it aggressively with everything they've got." and I´m thinking doese it makes me a coward if I want to avoid a chemo because I think it isn´t nesseary and the hormon treatment should be engouth?

Until you are in the midst of it, you just don't know. Chemo is terrible, radiation is terrible, cancer is terrible. You have a choice not to do it, I would not do it. If even one doctor looked at me and said, nah, you don't need chemo, do "this", I would jump on that train so fast. Quality of life is an important thing!
