Does it need radiation and chemoterapy

Hi all,

If i already sent it twice, please ignore. I am in Indonesia. We really need advice for my wife treatment.

My wife is 44 years old. Family history from her no one have a cancer. My wife has had 2 times operation for her breast. Firstly Doctor has been made Excision operation for about 12X8 mm size of the tissues. Then the biopsy result was Medullary Carcinoma  Mammae.

By its Biopsy result has been made for the second operation about 3 cm around of the first operation and taken 15 pcs lymph node. From the biopsy and IHC Clear and clean from the tumor and malignancies and outwarding appearance of P63 gave positive reactions in the immune cells in the ductuli mioepitel no need to continue for treatment.

But the results of the first excision biopsy operation concluded Medullary Carcinoma mammae. It has been requested again to IHC for the final decision and the result is  Estrogen and progesterone Receptor Negative, and c-erb B2 positive.

Doctors Oncologists finally make a letter to Dr. Radiation Oncologist to do 30 times the radiation.
And then later on chemotherapy. He said although there was no malignancy of the tumor at the surgery BCS, as it is standard procedure. I think it's very painful.

As Doctor said Medullary is less aggressive compare to others type of carsinoma and good prognosis,  So, Does she still need to radiation and chemotherapy?

Thank you for your kindness to us.

A restless husband

Hi All,

This morning we went to the one of Oncologist Surgery Founder in Indonesia.
He is very old man. We shown him all of the copy data Pathology, Mammography, USG Abdomen, Photo Torack of My Wife. He check the Excision an BCS area has been made by the first Dr. Oncologist Surgery.

We asked him what is next treatment we should take to get assuring this safely. He explained us by Drawing himself of the twice surgeries has ben made. He told us about first excion is Medullary Carcinoma and Second operasion no seen any tumor and malignancies either from 15 lymp node (it is good), but a group of malignancies (Cancer) is clear to see by microscope, but if one small cell out to go can not be seen to be easy. So he said must do Radiation for 30 times, not Chemotraphy. If not, hormone is the second treathment not Chemoterpy.  So we plan to go to Dr. Radiation (Oncl). Please give us a true comment

Warm Regard,
Mick
