    What type?

    BC has several different types (DCIS/LCIS/IDC/ILC/IBC and other VERY rare types).   ER/PR and HER2 modify but the The different types have different TX and PX.

    wellcome

    wellcome to the site. komen.org is a good source to get information.

    It has a section for newly diagnosed. Ask a copy of your pathology result.

    If you are going to het chemotherapy with adriamycin and cyclophosphamate ask for mucormycin to protec your bladder. If you are going to get Taxol ask for Metanx to prevent neuropathy( twice a day start  one week prior to taxol and continue 2 week after finished all taxol)
