Drug or Chemo Therapy
Althought the doctor informed me well about the side effects, I was not prepared for the toll it took on my thinking. Chemo brain was terrifying to me. I became extremely anxious and depressed and needed the strong support of my loving husband, family and friends

Radiation
The Savi device was not comfortable, but the trade off was that I could still go to work between the daily treatments, the treatments were completed in 5 days. Whew! a no brainer compared to the alternative.
