Hi everyone! I'm back and I have some answers now,but alot of questions too! My biopsy came back that it is indeed cancer,that is it er+,pr-,waiting on the her2 but guessing it's still positive.Met with the surgeon and a radioligist today.Both sound like they can get rid of it.Now I need to make a decision and have no idea which way is better.They either want to do a lobectomy with a scope or radiate the spot 4 times.Of course the second option sounds easier, but I'm wondering which is the better choice long term.They say there is no wrong answer here and not alot of data to fall back on so I'm asking anyone out there that has any experince with this to PLEASE weigh in on this! Any advice is appreciated!
