I've been up in the air for 2-1/2 months about whether or not I need chemo. I had two completely opposite opinions, so oncologist #2 took the case to the hospital Tumor Board. The unanimous opinion of the oncologists is that I don't need and shouldn't have chemo. Yippee!
Now I just need to go back to oncologist #2 to get the low-down on the discussion and find out what's next - tamoxifen, I would imagine.
I want to shout out to all the sisters out there. I'm not the poster child for BC survivors - I've had it really really easy and I know it (2 lumpectomies, DCIS with minute microinvasion, negative sentinal node, mastectomy 6/12/07, no radiation and now no chemo either).
I just wish there was a way to stop this epidemic.

Julie...I hear your gratitude and commend you for recognizing that some struggle more than others in this fight. It is important to note though that no matter how easy you feel you've had it, cancer is still cancer and you have a right to claim your place here as much as anyone else.
