Just a Guess. . .
I'm guessing they will wait to see what the surgery reveals before making a treatment plan. You might ask about having the Oncotype-DX test. It is a genetic test done on the tumor (after it is removed, of course) - and it gives a recurrence score that tells is chemotherapy is indicated for your particular tumor. Not all oncologists/surgeons recommend it . . .but it is a very useful piece of information in making treatment decisions. Talk to our oncology team about it.
Good luck to you. It's so scary, isn't it??

I am so sorry that your cancer came back. Your oncologist will help you with your treatment. I have no idea what he might recommend. Keep us updated on you.

Just wondering if that is something I should ask my dr. Everything was just a blur to me when I was diagnosed.0
