Husband here. If there's already a thread for Stage 2B with positive nodes, I apologize, as I missed it. I see a lot of discussion between ladies with Stage lll and between ladies with Stage l and a lot of dialogue for Stage lV only----but not much for Stage ll.

I am reaching out to seek your opinion regarding the adjuvant treatment plan proposed by two different oncologists.

I am quickly approaching the one year mark here and have my first round of scans post treatment in a couple of weeks. However, the local newspaper has been running stories left and right this month in which the focus is young women like myself (I was 37 at dx). In both stories today the women were stageIIb and eventually…
I just switched oncologists from Penn to Fox Chase. Has anyone used breast surgeons from outside the system that their oncologist is in? I like my Penn Surgeons.

Based on this, he advised chemo is required and ALND is on the table but he is going to review with the cancer board at the…
