    hello im 52 my history is 12 years ago i survived stage 3b Inflammatory breast cancer with triple negatives. full mastectomy, radiation, chemo both before and after

    Last week a 1.5 cm lump was felt in my other breast. mammogram and ultra sound. biopsies pathology says ILC and its in my armpit. additional lumps felt above my collarbone. Awaiting the results of hormone but estrogen positive, progesterone negative and hert unknown. pet scan on Monday and chemo starts on tues.

    question because previously they used chemo drugs very aggressively and i responded and actually I do well on chemo continue to work etc. why do i feel like the chemo suggested is not agressive and worse being dictated by hospital and insurance finance policies. what would be the treatment if stage 3 is all it is?

    Different chemo regime, radiation, and depending, anti-hormonals still.
