Take it a step at a time if you can. For one thing, a lot will be learned from the surgery, the size of tumor when the surgeon is actually "in there" as my surgeon referred to it, sentinel lymph biopsy if being done and post-surgery biopsy results. If you're a candidate for genomic testing, that can also yield a lot of information. So a lot of decisions you're pondering now might not even be recommended when all the data is in. I worried about decisions that, happily, I didn't have to make. That was a huge benefit of, in my case, the OncotypeDX test.

It’s all so true. I thought I was doomed to radiation and definitely chemo based on the first doctor that I was seeing. After “accidentally” seeing another doctor who seemed to have a similar opinion, once all that genomic testing came through, everyone was shocked and the entire office was calling me with the good news. Wishing you good news.
