She is undergoing three rounds of chemotherapy three weeks apart to shrink the tumor before having a mastectomy. An implanted port has been placed for the administration of chemotherapy and a PET scan revealed two suspicious lymph nodes. A biopsy of the lymph nodes will be done when the mastectomy is performed. Surgery will be followed with additional chemotherapy and/or radiation.     Sherry has driven a truck for nineteen years and is employed with Anderson Trucking.
