Thanks Sister, this sounds like me. Similar size tumor plus 3nodes but a second tumor found before surgery so double mastectomy. It helps to have people here that have gotten through. Its all so scary and where I thought I was positive and brave before, this has changed me. I am down and scared all the time. I was desperately trying to avoid chemo hence the oncotesting which I will still have because I have paid for it but chemo seems the only way. I have made it the big monster. I have a couple weeks till I get the portacath and then its AC & T mid December. Thanks for your reassurance everyone. It really is true kindness that you love and support us newbies to the "club"
