Re: Please let me know what you think i should do next
Many thanks lani and Ellie yes I will insist to get a breast MRI I am awaiting for biop of left (don't think they will de marker)Yes apparently can still get my herceptine.
Another question I have got this 2.3 cm node (in the breast (where the cancer used to beso they assuming a seedling from initial cancer) all they offering is a radiation boost.. what do you all think any other alternative. I get otherwise masectomy but it seems radical considering that I have a node on the left side. I would just like to se if I could treat it locally perhaps (i.e the idea of injecting alcohol + radiattherapy)
Many thanks
