@auntieoakley based on my initial pathology my oncologist does want me to do 4 rounds of chemo. I don't remember which ones I'm pretty sure it started with a T and the other drug may started with a D. If the pathology comes back different then he may change something. My family does not have a good record with cancer. My mom with the 2 different breast cancers, my dad had lung cancer and skin cancer pretty sure it was not melanoma. 3 of his siblings had some sort of cancer. His brother had stomach cancer, 1 sister had cervical cancer in her early 20's and his other sister got pancreatic cancer at age 58 or 59. She is the one that is worrying me just a little. I'm just wondering if there is some genetic thing or trend that they can't test for yet. All of my genetics came back negative for the genes they do test.

@srobinet I understand this family cancer thing. I am sorry to say that we are kind of in the same pot. I am the sole standing survivor in my family with cancer taking the rest. I started my own cancer journey in my 30’s.
I am hopeful that your journey is as easy as it can be, and you get a good outcome.
Will you come back and let us know how you are doing after your appointment?
