Met with the dr last night, he spent over two hours with us.  He said five months(16 sessions) of chemo, then surgery then radiation, but that is usually a good outcome.  I may not need radiation, but her thinks that the two tumors could be one which would bump me into the next category which means radiation.  This is the only breast cancer that they don't have alternative therapies for besides chemo, which may be why some people say it is the worse.  Luckily chemo works well. 

I have to get tests this week and a port and hopefully will start Monday.  He said the chemo should shrink the tumor almost completely or maybe all the way.  He will do genetic testing just because the two cancers.

He says I don't have to have a mastectomy if I don't want, but can should I.  Or if the genetic testing comes back bad, then I may have to.  

No hair on at 21 days, Shelly says it would be her honor to shave it. It will be a rough road but I will take it over the alternative.

Surgeon today at 130, have to a get a port.
