Intro + Neoadjuvant or Adjuvant Chemo?
Hi all, My wife's just been diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma NST (Grade 2-3) ER+, PR+, HER2- with a 29mm tumour and at least 1 involved lymph node. Needless to say it's hit us like a bus...

Hi all,
Quick update. We've now seen Oncology and they were really good and answered all of our questions. We have an official staging of 2B, grade 3 Early Stage BC with only the tumour and a single lymph node being found to be active on the PET scan. They did highlight a couple of other hotspots on the scan, but said it was a low probability that these were related at this time.
So, the plan is now an ACT regime starting next week, with biweekly doxorubicin / cyclophosphamide x 4, followed by 12 weekly rounds of Paclitaxel. Rebecca's Ki67 is on the high side at ~50, so we're not sure what that means for the outcome, but we're hoping that despite that, the chemo will devastate this thing and we can move onto surgery and then onto the rest of our lives.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers so far, please continue to send good vibes while we continue to fight and beat this thing ♥️
