Time to turn it around

I guess I'm in the beginning stage since they say it's great they found it now instead of later. Much better chance of killing/removing it all?

Well, then question number one to ask them is what stage it is in. Stages are determined by many things and certain stages are more treatable than others. This is one of the single most basic and important things to know. If your doc isn't giving you this info, than you need to find one with better communication skills because info is key. You have to question your doctors, YOU have to understand what's going on in order to get the best treatment and chance for survival.

Also, what doc did your surgery at Rush? I wish I could remember who did my sister's last summer. She had a great tandem team of docs who worked very well together, one did the mastectomy and another the reconstruction. The are some of the best in the nation. Chicago's a great place to be located when you need treatment.
