I made the decision to enter the trial. I just spent 20 minutes on the phone trying to let anyone at Kaiser know that, without success. But that's another story.
As you may have surmised, this wasn't an easy decision for me. There is not enough information currently available to point definitively toward Yes or No for chemotherapy, in my case. For what it's worth, I am just not convinced that it is necessary in my case - but I wouldn't turn it down if I am chosen for that treatment.
Besides that, the notion of giving up control of the decision (by entering the trial) hasn't been easy for me to accept, which will come as no surprise to those of you who are intimately familiar with the women in my family....
In case you have time on your hands and are interested, here is a link to an interesting article about the breast cancer chemotherapy decision.
