I have cancer of the breast…there is no tumor and never will be…I discovered a dimple and it is milignant.

I have just found out via mammagram, dye, sonogram and biopsy that I have Infiltrating Ductal Cacinoma Clinical Stage1 grade I/III. It is a mass not a tumor 1.5 centemeters and they will remove it. Now, I have to get two oncologists. I have no idea why…they will try seed radiation and Tamoxifen. I am angry and don’t want to take the drug and probably will refuse. What happens if I just have the surgery, check out the lymph glands and do the seed radiation and stop. I am alone and don’t want this to go on forever. Dying is not so bad as long as it doesn’t take years. If you have experience tell me the stories because everyone at the hospital just assumes everyone wants to live. I have already told them there will be no more surgeries, no harmones and no chemo. They think I am just upset…I am not…why can’t I just do what I want to do?
