Hi Anne
Bugger - why don't the pathology results follow our plans??? It sounds like your surgeon has outlined the basis of your plan which is good and as you visit each person - medical and radiation oncologist, all the bits will start to fall in place and for me having that treatment plan meant heaps.
We are actually following very similar paths - mine lump was very small (less than 20mm) but unfortunately also grade 3 and I had 4 lymph nodes involved. I am having the 6 cycles (3 weeks apart) of chemo, followed by 6 weeks of radiation and then the hormone blocking (that's only oral though).
With my treatment I actually have a motto of expect the worst and then anything less is a bonus - and to date my chemo effects haven't been 'the worst'!!
All the very best wishes, Dette xx
