I agree with you @windyshores this is certainly not the end of the story. The next couple weeks will be spent healing and drawing battle plans.
I disagree with the last statement, this is “our” cancer. It is just in her body. The definition of autonomy is about a person's ability to act on his or her own best values and interests. If I followed that rule I would have spent the night in a bar rather than sleeping in a hospital room with her.

Your post confuses me, about a bar or hospital room. I get why you came here, you seem to want a place to vent, gather information, etc.
Seem like at this point that you could use some self care so that you can better care for your wife both emotionally and physically.

Hope pathology is good news and most of all the Oncotype, since that is what docs go by these days (if she can have one).
I am thinking my personal reaction to your posts is that you are treating breast cancer as a catastrophe while I do everything I can not to. I hope you can understand that.
