Hi, I'm not brave either. A regular chicken shxt. You've got to do some surgery though. I had a lumpy. You'll never know what choice is right until you're 15 years down the road. I hope you had a consult with a breast surgeon and a plastic surgeon. If you're small breasted, taking out 3cm will leave a divit or pleat. But I guess it could be spread out more, where it might be uglier to do a lumpy.
I don't know why a core biopsy would be containdicated. I had one doc say do an excisional biopsy, the rest said core.
Node neg, but had a 3cm at chest wall. ER and PR+. Finishing Herceptin tomorrow. There's a search link on the purple bar at top of page. Query on Herceptin, Stage II, Stage III.
Nothing wrong with 2nd and 3rd opinion. I would be very surprised if you didn't do Herceptin. I would guess you would do A/C, then taxol and Herceptin. Rads maybe for the nodes?
Hang in there. It gets better eventually. BB
