About to start treatment
Hi, have got my first meeting with the oncologist to work out chemo options this week and wanting a bit of advice.
What are the things I should be asking at this meeting?
I've been doing lots of reading but it seems to have confused me, rather than clarified things.
Background: had mastectomy and implant, Her2+, oestrogen+, there were 3 small cancers and lots of DCIS (90mm in total). Already know I'll have hormonal, herceptin and radiotherapy. Have been told to expect 'light' chemo - 6 cycles every 3 weeks.
For those of you who have had chemo, what are the things in hindsight you wish you knew at the beginning.
Thanks
