      Hi Paul,

      thank you kindly for taking the time to respond to my post. I have a lot of the same thoughts in terms of what has gone through my mind over these past few weeks – sorting through the info over and over again, trying to feel settled on a decision. I've considered your scenario as well, blood vs lymph, and it came up in a discussion with my oncologists as well. Reminds us how sneaky and scary this disease can be. Wishing you the best Paul. Ultimately I think you're right, as many others have articulated, that there is no singular path…thank you for the link as well. 🙂

      Hi happy girl,

      thanks for taking the time to respond. Your story is indeed very similar! 

      Have you done any further treatment? Was 2yr NED the guideline given to you by MSK in terms of baby #2? 

      I wish you all the best and sending hope for another baby in your future!

      Hi anon,

      thanks for taking the time to respond. I too heard this re: micromets in one node – basically that the prognosis of 3a is nearly as good if not better than some more invasive stage 2s. Here's hoping 🙂 

      I wish you all the best as well…

      Dear Ed,

      Thank you kindly for your thoughtful response. And for all the info/links as well. 

      I can't help but agree with you based on the research I've done thus far.. 

      as for the ipi – I wasn't given the option. Only interferon. Ed are you in Canada as well? Is ipi only approved in USA for stage 3?

      I will take a look at the Asco and onclive feeds as you suggested. 

      Many thanks for taking the time.
