Stanford Update

Ok, I have my appointment for Stanford and I got to talk to a resident and understand what is happening a lot more now. I feel really good about it. The doctors want a second opinion. So basically with my situation, chemo and a mastectomy with clear lymph-nodes, they would not do radiation. But because I had numerous pockets of different cancers throughout the breast, radiation should be considered. There are side effects from radiation that make this decision some thing to take seriously. I am very happy that my doctors are comfortable saying they do not have all the answers and I am happy they are sending me to such an excellent doctor for my second opinion.
