Kristen,

The direction and advice I received and adopted was to be aggressive the first time. I got hit with induction TPF chemo 3x for nine weeks, then rads-chemo for another 7 weeks. Brutal as hell but I have zero second guessing if something more could have been done the first go around.

In your case it seems you have not done any rads so if you adopt the aggressive stance then rads and chemo may be recommended.

I'd think everyone would agree to go in with all guns blazing as you want to do everything possible to stop it dead this time.
