Hi @jan61 all the lovely ladies have made great comments. I just want to say I understand you are a private person and we are our best advocate for making our own decisions but you will find if you have a really good BC nurse they should fully understand your pathology report inside out. I find that surgeons are expert in surgery and what the cancer encompasses as with the oncologist and rad oncologist are experts in their speciality. I just found that my BC nurse covered all aspects from the beginning and through the whole miserable process to the finish of active treatment and will be ongoing for checkups. They should be your best advocate and can explain everything in layman terms to our already frazzled brains. I couldn't even imagine how you must feel after already having plenty of surgery but your team will make the best suggestions for you about what is the best way to get rid of this bastard of a disease and ultimately that is all anyone can wish for. Good luck with your decisions. xo
