Dianne and whoever else might have been misled. I am not asking this question for me personally. I am fine.
I am asking because of another's situation that has recently come up.
Also, a close friend of mine had chemo to reduce the tumor in her breast, this was over a yr ago. She had all 6 txs and found out later that the tumor didn't even change size after all that chemo! So she ended up with a mastectomy.
