Don’t know what to do
Age 68 and relatively healthy with mild to moderate arthritis and osteopenia. Retired and semi active. Just got diagnosed with stage 2b triple negative in one breast and estrogen , her2 positive stage 2b in other. Both show lymphatic invasion in tissue. So far no lymph nodes that we can tell are involved after ultrasound and MRI. Going for chest CT scan, bone scan and echocardiogram this week. If those tests are good they told me 6 visits of chemo every three weeks and possibly more if that doesn’t work and then mastectomy and then more treatment and radiation.i am honestly considering palliative care with some treatment. I don’t think I can handle all this at my age and the effect it will have on my body. Has anyone took this route? I am so sad.
Going to a highly regarded cancer center this week for second opinion and then making my decision.
