Today I made a decision to take endocrine therapy and radiation the whole breast for triple positive invasive breast cancer because I have some chronic health problems, but soon as I felt comfortable with the decision I started to doubt it . I reached out to my doctor to confirm if endocrine therapy would be used, how or if the HER2 would be treated. I just want to do the right thing for me and my situation. Has anyone ever had to deal with a similar situation with a decision for a therapy?
I think a lot of us second guess along the way- is this the right treatment, am I going too aggressive, or not aggressive enough? It's just that this cancer is just so sneaky, and we all know that recurrence is a possibility. It's good that you have confidence in your doctor, that is huge. Eventually, we just have to review all the pros and cons, and make the best decision we can. And then accept- that whatever that decision was, it was the best decision based on all the information we have at this time. If you are a person of faith, lean into that. Keeping you in prayers! Hugs!
Thanks Virginia, I didn't look at it that way because I am an over thinker at times. I just got to be confident any decision I make is going to work out for me. And trust God
Making treatment decisions for triple positive breast cancer is genuinely hard, and second-guessing yourself afterward is incredibly common — you are absolutely not alone in this.
