They never did a biopsy on me straight to surgery and staged me at 3b. Now I'm told it's rare to have surgery at 3b and there's no info bc no trials have been done on this.. so I get absolutely no info from any doctors and I had surgery last October.

Hello @jewels85, Different doctors will certainly have different plans. and sometimes plans change. I wonder if they went into surgery thinking that you would be one stage but found that you were actually 3B. Did you have other treatment after the surgery; chemo or radiation? It's been almost a year now, how well did you heal from the surgery?
