Jean (not real name) is a 56-year-old female. Sometime in 2004, she felt a hard, flat lump in her right breast. A mastectomy was done in October 2004. The pathology report indicated infiltrating ductal carcinoma, Grade 3.
Jean underwent six cycles of chemotherapy with FEC (5-FU + Epirubicin + cyclophosphamide). In addition, she had twenty sessions of radiation treatment. All treatments were completed in June 2006.
