I was beginning to wonder about you. It is your body, so you should have imput as to what happens. Remember I am the one who had major hip replacement surgery that finished early on a Thursday morning and still had my treatment on Friday afternoon while I was still in the hospital. They even put me in a wheelchair and in a van and took me to the oncologist's office for my treatment every week after I transfered to the rehab hospital. I was able to do daily physical therapy for my hip. If I were you I would at least take Herceptin during the recovery from the surgery. The whole thing can be accomplished with everyone's cooperation.
I have my fingers crossed for you and I will say a prayer that everything will go well. Take care.
