Ok all I am so very confused and hoping someone can help me here. Last June I received my dx which I have listed below and today I received word that there are NO ACTIVE cancer cells!! Whoo hoo beyond thrilled and of course thought my journey was over! UNTIL, I hear I will need to undergo 6 more treatments of chemo. I know that I am in what they said was a partial remission but they said no active cancer cells. I do not have a big support system and it seems like my onc is always just pushing off my questions since I refused to go forward with a mastectomy. I don't know if he took it personally that I did not go with the recommended treatment plan but after all it is my body and I wanted to try to beat it before I just chopped em off, ya know. So has anyone else heard of this? I have read many things online and I have heard about taking hormone replacement therapy n such for anywhere up to 5 years or even life but this is IV chemo we are talking. Ugh so stressed please help! Should I get a second opinion?
