a year of chemo?

Hi all:

first thanks for the advice that was given a few weeks ago....

I had a mastectomy and am trying to rest for a few weeks...

My question is this.... The Onc. Dr. wants to give me chemo A/C for a solid year.. then to be followed is 37 treatments of radiation...does this seem reasonable??.

The tumor that was removed was 5.5 cm...

I am still trying to process all of this as I still have the last mammogram and ultrasound in my hands and it basically says ok.. this was 2 months ago...

again I am er/pr neg

He says that any type of hormone therapy would not be helpful..

so, do I trust him or get a second opinion??

thanks,
charlotte
