So the surgery went very well, healing up "amazingly well" according to surgeon.
Met with radiology oncologist last week, and medical oncologist today. They see no need for any chemo, as the hormone drug tamoxifen should be enough.
Radiation for 3 weeks, starting in about 2 weeks, then drug therapy for about 5 Years!.
Waiting on a call back from a physiotherapist specializing in breast surgery recovery.
