I was considered stage 2A. My tumor was removed with surgery and my oncologist presented me with two options. Watch and wait, or do 3 months of chemo. He said recent research showed that 3 months was as effective as the 6 that used to be the standard. He said chemo would lower my risk but left it up to me. I just wanted to do everything I possibly could to fight this and am the type of person to second guess myself. So I asked my oncologist what he would recommend to a family member and he said chemo so that’s what I did. I made it through almost half. I was worried at first when they recommended stopping, but I was very sick from it and my body couldn’t fight anything else that was going on. I have 100% faith in my oncologist and my team so felt confident following their recommendations.

I had my surgery at MD Anderson and my surgeon was Dr. Gimble. My oncologist is Dr Dragovich, head of oncology.
