2. Yes I am.
3. next week.
4. Good, still 12 days post op from my preventative mastectomy, but ok.

@marileenewman I apologize for missing your response to my questions.

Since you disagree with your oncologist's recommendation it would seem that a second opinion would be a good idea. Are you located in the U.S.? If yes, then here is a website where you can find a National Cancer Institute (one of the Institutes with NIH) where there is ongoing research and cutting edge cancer treatments. Mayo Clinic is on this website.

Find an NCI-Designated Cancer Center:

If you'd like to self-refer or would your current oncologist or another medical provider to refer you to Mayo Clinic then here is that link:

How was your appointment with your oncologist? Do you have new information to share and have you made any other decisions about what you'd like to do going forward?
