Appointment with breast care nurse

The NHS Predict tool may help you see the statistics for women of your age with the same type of cancer. The tool will show you survival statistics with and without chemo (if you don't know what type of chemo, you can try all options in the tool.)

In order to make an informed decision  you need more data. Once question you could ask is how exactly the type of chemo they are recommending going to fight cancer cells.

Then it's a question of assessing risks and inconveniences of chemo versus risk of recurrence both long and short term. There are a lot of opinions, all based on the same sets of data, so when it comes down to making the decision it is indeed an individual choice. 

I gathered all the data I could find, from reliable sources, looked at the statistical probabilities, and decided to go with the chemo they were suggesting on two separate occasions. Others may choose otherwise. So my main recommendation here is -- get as much reliable information as you can so you can make the best decision for yourself.

Thank you ,yes I know what the chemo is and side effects ,but I will have a look on the NHS predict tool ️

I find NHS Predict hard to use tbh. Unsure which generation chemo I'm having (not been mentioned) and no idea how to fill in Ki67 data. Jo 

Your nurse will be able to provide this data, and Ki67 should appear on the pathology report.

third gen chemo is usually for triple negative or stage 3/ grade 3 cancer in general. I didn't have Ki67 data on my path report so just put don't know for that one.
