Daughter with IDS

Hello all. I have some questions for you. My daughter has recently had a 3.2 x 4.3 cm mass and other areas in her left breast come back positive for IDC.

I posted a initial post before the biopsy results were in that will give you a little more of her history in the "Waiting for Test Results" area with the "My 30 years Old daughter" something header. (I'm exhausted and it's late, I apologize)

Anyway, my questions are...

1. The Breast Surgeon said because of the size of main mass, the oncologist will want to do Chemo before the DMX. She said it would clear the cancer and shrink the mass but will still require surgery for the one breast but because her age she'd suggest both and reconstruction immediately. Is this anyone else's experience?

2. She's scheduled her for port placement on Tuesday the 18th. We've not even met with oncologist yet and won't until the 20th. I asked her if it was normal to do this. She said she worked with those oncologist all the time and that my daughter will have chemo first sonshe wants it to be placed so the oncologist will be able to move quickly. He was on vacation this week. There were others she could have gotten in to see but I was told he was a great oncologist. Again anyone have this experience?

The breast surgeon and oncologist (Cancer Center) are very good from what I've gathered from a lot of people and my mom is currently being treated by them for small cell lung cancer that we just found out about 5 weeks ago. She's already had results of 75% mass shrinkage and she's 77 years old the mass was 5cm pressing on her trachea and she's done so well with 3 days of chemo every 21 days and radiation every weekday for 35 treatments.

I just thought it was odd that we'd be doing anything before meeting with the actual oncologist besides the testing the Breast Surgeon has ordered. The BS said that the oncologist will most likely want a PET scan but they have to order that. She's done what she can on her end for now. Mammo, ultrasound, biopsy, chest X-rays, bloodwork, and Myriad gene testing.

She has spent time with my daughter and us and answered any questions and given us copies of the test results so far but, I still think it's strange.

I know she deals with this on a daily basis and works closely with oncologist all the time so I hate even questioning this but would feel better if I got some feedback from any others that have an input. Even more questions to ask the surgeon and oncologist.

Thank you gals so much. Prayers to all

PS. She also got a call from her OBGYN of an abnormal pap that we have to get checked into Monday by her OBGYN and get a colposcopy performed because her port is getting placed Tuesday. I'm hoping nothing more will have to be done and the cells aren't cancerous or related to the breast cancer.

I'm wanting some tests she's had or will have to come back with some good news at this point. One more surprise just might do me in.

Ok that's all. Now come on you Warrior Goddesses and give me some good input and questions I need to be asking. I know you have been here and are kicking BCs butt! So help my daughter and I to fight and ask the important questions we may not think to ask. Blessings 🙏🏼❤️
