I (45) went to my first ever mammogram 3 weeks ago, was called back for ultrasound, passed on to biopsy, where they found cancerous tissue (ductal in situ plus ductal invasive). I had a lumpectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy last week (lymph nodes were "clean") and am now scheduled to see the doc for follow up tomorrow. He said it's early stages and I will only need chemo if the area/tumor is bigger than 1 cm. What should I asked tomorrow? Thank you!!!!
