This is one of those 'beliefs' that pop up from time to time. There is no proven link between deodorant use and breast cancer. Any studies completed to date have not been adequate to show proof.

Yes...There are many stories with happy ending. Chemo is not the end of your life. Every day is a gift... that's what chemo reminds you.

Most would do fine no matter what.
Adding anti-cancer medications to a treatment regimen may further reduce the risk of death from breast cancer, but only by a percentage of a person's base rate risk of death from breast cancer. 70 to 80% of those diagnosed with breast cancer who get chemotherapy do not need it.
The recommendation is inexact. It is known that a percentage will benefit, it is just not known which individuals in the population of those who get chemotherapy will be the ones who will benefit from it.
