Rebecca,
This rollar coaster ride is not fun but this site is so helpful. We didn't find out my cancer tumor was Her2+++ and er/pr negative until after I had the lumpectomy. My oncologist surgeon and medical oncologist agree the survival rate is the same but I wonder....
I have my next mammo is in October, if there are areas in question I will consider a bilateral.
Nice that you're offered the lidocaine prior the sentinal node injections. Feels like bee stings but it's short lived and doable.
Thinking of you,
Dana
