Yes, Christine. I am totally with you on that. We are much, much smarter and well informed. I know mistakes we made last time and don't intend to make again (although I'm sure I'll find new mistakes to make). I think she's in better shape physically starting treatment this time and hopefully that helps a little with the grind, too. Won't get staging back for another day or two but her surgeon was pretty optimistic about the whole thing at the time of the biopsy.
