Sharla, could be the lump was even bigger prior to chemo, and the chemo shrunk it somewhat - but not enough. Did they at least biopsy this lump, so you know it's a cancerous tumor? It sounds like you'd benefit by a second opinion here; I've never known an oncologist to just kind of give up. Please check this list of Comprehensive Cancer Centers; these are the 40 best cancer treatment facilities in the U.S., as designaged by the government. See if there's one near enough for you to access; you'd be sure to get good care there. Stay in touch here - we can help. You don't have to be alone, so long as you can reach out to the women here on this site. Good luck - PJH
