Re: Recently diagnosed @ 33 and scared
Lovemyboys3,
Wow, what an experience. I am so happy for you that the nodes were negative. That is awesome news.
I am sorry about your positive margins. A second surgery sucks - but this time hopefully the recovery won't be so exciting, yikes!
I can see with the KI67 score and your age, etc why your oncologist is leaning toward chemo. But I wonder if you can do 4 treatments of Paclitaxel instead of 6 of Taxotere. Or perhaps she has something else in mind? Definitely the year of Herceptin.
Or better yet - has she suggested a clinical trial?
Good luck with your next surgery. I will pray that no IDC or DCIS cells will be found in the margins.
