I followed protocol, and suppose they know what works -as best as they can. My breast cancer was early and should have been easy, but things aren't always as they appear. My best advice- based on what you have shared is get a second opinion. Odds are that your second opinion will be recommend the same thing, but if it gives you peace of mind, then yay!!

Good luck. I will be keeping you and Akiko in my thoughts.
