Thank you for your reply and the details of your treatment. Unfortunately, the oncologist I had did not try chemo before the surgery. Had this happened, my tumor would have disappeared and surgery could have been avoided. It was a complicated surgery followed by radiation, which left my chest wall fairly tight and paralyzed. After he went on medical leave, another oncologist was assigned to me at Stanford and sent my tissue to be further diagnosed. The results showed that I had 11 mutations which put me in another category for chemotherapy. He put me on the correct chemo medication, and the leftover small tumors just disappeared. I am not on any medication at this point as I don't have any active breast cancer going on at the time. Best of luck with your breast cancer.
