Intro + Neoadjuvant or Adjuvant Chemo?

Hi George, my surgeon was "in charge" up to the surgery discussion until the cancer history was made known and then she discussed the options with the oncology team..and it was their recommendations she finally followed (with my agreement). Your wife's family's cancer history should have an input so I would draw it up to show the oncologist..they will want to know age of initial diagnosis for family members as well as type if it has not already been done. Once the surgery is over, your wife will then be placed under an oncology team. She will see one oncologist but her case will be discussed by the oncologist team at the hospital. The surgeon's role will be essentially over although appointments for scar inspection will be ongoing (as well as scans and other tests). Try to get in contact with a McGrath Breast Cancer nurse as they can also help clarify your wife's path as you go forward. Keep reaching out to this site as well as there is lots of advice available..
