Hi Kittylyn and welcome to the Online Community but I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and the treatment choices you have to make but I do hope you will find lots of comfort and support here on the Online Community.
The Community has many dedicated support groups and I see you have joining our Breast cancer group. This is a safe place to talk to other people who might have a similar diagnosis or treatment experience.

This service provides lots of cancer information, emotional support, benefit and financial guidance or just a listening ear.

Hi Kittylyn and a very warm welcome to the online community
It's always difficult when you're given a choice of treatment as we always expect to just be told.
I can see that you've joined the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask your question, share experiences and get support. When you're ready to post there clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there where you can start a new post and introduce yourself and also join in with existing conversations.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
