Hi @0608hev. This BC just doesn't give up sometimes. I had BC in 2005, then again in 2009. Chemo both times and rads in 05. Tamoxifen then Zoladex. I thought I was done then in May another big dcis. I had a left mastectomy in 09, right side mast in May. I didnt do reconstructions for a range of reasons. My surgeon is confident I won't need further treatment as there were no nodes involved but I find out this week after her case conference with oncs. The thought of chemo again caused me nightmares but so does the thought of no further treatment. I am terrified that surgery isn't enough. Your doctors will consider type, any possibility of node involvement and other factors in treatment decisions. I have read many wise words from other ladies here to the effect that as difficult as it is not to worry about whats going to happen, to try and wait until you have all the info. It's not easy to do. Have your list of questions ready for the doctor when you see him/her next. Do you know when you will have the full results? Do you mind if I ask who has been giving you the different information? It took me awhile to come on here but these ladies are amazing. So much wonderful support and good advice. Keep in touch. :)
