Gordon,

It's probably good your wife is starting treatment now.  There was a study a while back that said the optimal time to start chemo is within 30 days from surgery.  I'll post the link to the study.

Hi, please can I ask how you are doing now?  My tumour was 6mm, with WLE and no lymph node involvement. I had 20 rads, but no chemo as tumour considered so small. Mostly happy with this decision but would love to hear from anyone else with very small tumours.  NCCN guidelines have been helpful, but a human would be better!! Thanks.
Dx Dec 2015. Stage 1 Grade 2.
