Re: Did you have surgery w/o doing chemo?

In 2012, I was diagnosed with dcis with possible microinvasive through ultrasound guided biopsy, her2 status was unknown, but it was very extensive. I saw three surgeons, two of them said that I just need mastectomy, my third opinion surgeon felt 75% chance that I had some invasive cancer somewhere through examination and I should do chemo first. I was very scared with chemo and I chose the easier option of just having surgery. Four and half years later, cancer came back in my axilla lymph nodes and lungs. Of course, I am regretful of not going with aggressive treatments at my first diagnosis.
