Hi Christina,
Sorry you are here, but you have found a great resource. I had almost the same dx and treatment plan, with the exception of the mast for the extensive dcis. Lots has been written on this site about it. I would love to provide you with more info/opinion, but I am currently typing one-handed cause I crashed my bicycle two days ago and have a sprained finger taped up (Yes, bicycling, and fast enough to crash hard! - You will eventually get our life back!) You may want to also search the site (I always use the advanced search - I can never get the standard search to work) Look under TCH, chemo, etc. Best of luck, keep posting to let us know how you are.
