@RR all the best for your appointment tomorrow. I've always done my appointments alone since my first diagnosis in 2011 and again 2015. I never wanted to have to worry about someone else and how they felt, rather than just focus on me and deal as best I could. I didnt need an oncologist 1st diagnosis but I did the 2nd so I knew I needed more than radiation. They will be straight to the point with your diagnosis and their recommendation of treatment based soley on your diagnosis. I didnt have to ask about cold caps, my Oncologist was up front about that for my regime it's never been successful. If you purely had taxol possibly then. Lots of ladies have done it, some successful, most not. Certainly lots to think about. My Oncologist gave me 48hrs to get back with an answer and he said if I couldnt make the decision in that time then that would be clear its not a path I wish to travel. I did travel it however. So just ask them to keep it simple even ask for a copy of your pathology. Hugs xo
