Re: Options about surgery after chemotherapy
I like the idea of a 2nd opinion. I had chemo, surgery and then radiation and then Herceptin. Because of the number of tumors and how close they were to the chest wall, the doctors made it clear to me that radiation was very necessary. Good luck with your decision.
