Re: Please let me know what you think i should do next

Hi FOB
I soo understand how difficult the dilema is!
As I mentioned in an earlier reply I think it is really important that they check the status of the nodes.It is possible to take a small biopsy using ultrasound and test it. It is done here in England as I had it!
You have had one vaccine.I am sure Dr Disis would advise whether you would be eligible for the other vaccine they are now in trials with that uses T cells. I understand that you need evidence of disease to participate.
What about the affected breast? Are they intending to do anything about checking for a new tumour? I am reminded of an article by Larry Norton where he talked about 'a weed bed' and cancer cells re-seeding in other areas of the same breast.It seems like they need to check this out and decide a course of action if the recurrence has developed from a new area of the breast.
Pleas don't forget what I posted earlier that in England you are entitled to a second opinion on the NHS.
