Can anyone answer this?

It's really hard when you see several people and they all tell you something different. When that happens I think it means that there is no right or wrong answer. I don't think it is unreasonable to see the thoracic doctor on Monday then you can ask how hard it would be to get to. I would think the 5 mm stuff and the stuff between the lungs would be very tough to get. What about your markers? Have they gone up?

With the large amount of positive lymph nodes, I think the odds are that it is the breast cancer and only you can decide if you want to have the risks associated with a biopsy to prove it.

It's a tough decision and I think I would opt for the chemo than the risk of surgery. As for the comment you should have had radiation 5 years ago....yes that would be true for the large amount of lymph nodes but heck I had rads and it didn't do me any good anyway. So I wouldn't waste your time wondering what if. You just never know.

Good luck in your decision. I know it must be nail biting time.
