Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I have been reading about x-rays and radiation, i just had surgery in may for breast cancer, when i went in for the after care appointment and to see if i had to have chemo and/or radiation the doctor told me they got all the cancer but they wanted to do preventative chemo and radiation, now i asked all the questions and decided why would i want to put all those dangerous chemicals in my body for chemo when i have been told i am now cancer free, so i immediately said no to chemo... the doctor was pushing the radiation, but the cons far outweighed the pros.... for one, the radiation would have damaged my lung.... huh... i am cancer free and they wanted to destroy my lung.... there would also be problems with the breast tissues where they did the radiation... so of course i said no to that.... but it really got me how the medical profession was so gung ho to have me to preventative treatments that were not necessary and would do other damage to my body....
