Surgery or no, chemo or no, and all the rest!
The best source given to me by one w/BC is the following:
http://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/
They do have a forum for specific BC issues and categories to address the variety of them! They're good people, as are those here.

Read thru their vast web site and LEARN... but listen and choose your docs wisely and treatments carefully. My post surgical treatments of the various estrogen blockers were an unpleasant experience, put mildly. At times worse than the 'problem'?
Don't let the fear paralyze you! Learn and fight! Getting 'well', is more of a long term thing? But the goals of those here and there are to GET WELL!
Hugs and hope - BIG TIME! Ask here if you aren't getting help from the heap of resources out there. Many here have been thru the 'C' mill as well as other issues.
Personally? I think fighting and WINNING? IS my best revenge!
