Hi, Our doctor mentioned that chemotherapy could last for 6 months for young women (under 35) even at a stage 2a node negative grade 3 breast cancer. I heard that some young people in similar situation get away with 2-3 months. 6 months, Isn't it too long?

It's not the same for everyone, it depends on what type of drugs, how many treatments and how they're spaced apart. I had six treatments every three weeks, so mine lasted a little over 4 months....Stage 2B node positive.

There are many different treatment protocols. Younger women tend to get more aggressive forms of breast cancer. Grade 3 is aggressive. You want to treat it aggressively. Chemo is rough, but recurrence and metastasis is a lot rougher. Hit the cancer hard, that's what I say. You may not get another good chance to beat it.
