Re: Newly diagnosed
I could be wrong but I was told that anything under 1.5 cm doesn't always require chemo, u may not need it although with her 2 I would try for the herceptin if that is still the case..I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. I did not have a port, it was never really discussed with me, I had no problems with the IV's but since they had to use the same arm I do have a lot of scar tissue, I also was told to wait for recon so that NOTHNG interfered with treatment. Good luck to you and your family.
