Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She has ductal carcinoma of breast. Stage 2 with no metastasis. She has already gone through surgery. Noe she should take chemotherapy.
She should also check for ER, PR and her 2 neu. If this receptor are positive then receptor specific antagonist treatment is very useful in breast cancer.
Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
