Susan,
Just read your post! I am sorry that you are dx with bc. It sounds as if you are recently dx. It is not easy to digest all the informtion along with the fear and worry. In your post you only mentioned that you were Stage 1 (which is
favorable) were you node negative, what was your er/pr status (very important) and what was the size of your tumor? If you are concerned about having chemo visit the post on "do you fit this profile" and read about the Oncotype Dx test. This may be of some assistance in helping you make decisions regarding treatment.

My heart goes out to you - I too am stage 1 - er postive Pr neg. node negative
her2+++. My oncs. did not recommend chemo or herceptin.

As far as that dr. goes - you already know that he is not the doctor for you
or anyone else for that matter. It is a shame you had to be exposed to that on top of the dx.

Continue to search for information and you will be able to make the best
decision for you.

All Good Wishes,
Jean
