We finally have an appointment to see the medical oncologist (Dr. Zaiden) on Tuesday November 24th at 9:20am. This appointment is to discuss adjuvant therapy, using chemotherapy.
"Adjuvant therapy is treatment given before or after cancer surgery to increase the chances of a cure. It destroys microscopic areas of remaining cancer. Adjuvant therapy may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or a combination of these treatments." (http://cancer.sutterhealth.org/information/breastcancer.html)
