        I am a stage 2b. I was told they would want me on this same drug. My surgery is next week and at that time I will get the dye to see if mine spread. I have no one to help me as I live alone. I wouldn’t be able to care for myself if I experienced the horrible side affects. However they recommend it as a precautionary measure to kill any Un detected cells. This is,my life so I don’t know how much time is risky by getting 2nd and 3rd opinions as most are booked out 5 months. I am not sure what I will do.
