I think the problem is when you are first diagnosed and seeing surgeon/oncologist etc, the pace is so fast, not much time to digest and or research. I just took immediate advice from them as I didn't know what else to do and there was a sense of urgency in their recommendations. Hope I did right. Actually, I know I did right and happy to live with the consequences - for better or worse. Maybe not a good choice of words, as am now divorced. Ha Ha (not). @Afraser and @primek, so knowledgable.
