One micromet +/- taxol ... anyone else?

Thanks Kathy and Mich,

  since my last post I guess I've been through a grieving process for those lost 3 months. I've spoken to a couple of nurses on the cancer helpline and to my GP. I toyed with the idea of a second opinion but I've come to terms with the plan now, and a second opinion might just throw my into more dissaray.

Kathy, I had partial mastectomies but I have to have the wholelot off after chemo. Its been a very bumpy ride. The original plan was partial mastectomies and radiotherapy, every thing over by Auguast and back to life as normal.Now I've already had two operations and two more to go with 6 months of chemo in the middle. No radiotherapy. And if we're lucky, we get our lives back in April. But who knows? Nothing mu surgeon has told me has turned out to be true.

You probably had a tumour > 2cm or a metastisis > 2mm, Kathy?? That would make you stage 2. You see, I have neither, which is where the difference of opinion comes in with the oncologists.

The precancerous thing was found by MRI, followed by MRI directed biopsy. Due to farcial incompetence of the radiologist, they didn't manage to clip the thing, so my surgeon couldn't get it out. If I wasn't having complete mastectomy next year, it would have to be clipped again and then open biopsied.

Oh well, its all very sad making.
