Okay, everyone, I am going to take the leap tomorrow morning. I talked to the ACS today and we reviewed my Adjuvant scores. And in general discussed the various pro and cons of the features of my pathology. They also suggested asking onc about Glutamine for the few days after treatment. And quinine water. The City of Hope doctor even phoned today to see what was going on and I told her my decision for chemo, in the face of the new findings. She agreed that searching for more opinions won't really help since I am in such a gray area. Nothing is obvious about it. Her major consideration was that I was satisfied with my decision. I think "resigned" is a better description!
So think good thoughts tomorrow morning!!!
