@auntieoakley This was my line of thinking, too. Progress can be scary, especially being among the first group to go along with new research. Breast cancer treatments were radical in the past. Changes such as this one are meant to provide women with the least amount of invasive surgery while providing the same excellent hope for success. My hopes are high, and like @reflector75 said, avoiding complications that may arise with node biopsies seems like a good choice, given the givens.
It is hard to think past the surgery at this time. I want to wait until that is over and the Oncotype results are in. I am most afraid of those results, but keeping my hopes high as this was found early, and it is early stage IDC.
