Hi All
What a roller coaster surgeon said all good oncologists not so optimistic gone from 3 months chemo to 6 months chemo and 6 weeks radiation and 5 years hormone therapy why can they not agree...
Forum Discussion
The breast surgeon said all good from surgeon point of view ie the tumour and abnormal tissues are excised. The oncologist decides the treatment regime based on the pathology of the tumour which could only be determined after it has been cut off and sent for analysis. So unfortunately it's a step by step process. No one could give you a definite plan right from the start, even though we sometimes want them because it's comforting to know.
I'm currently going through 6 months (only had 2 cycles of AC so far) of chemo after having a lumpectomy, with radiation therapy and hormone therapy to follow. The best advice I was ever given is putting your trust in your medical team (breast surgeon, oncologist, radiation oncologist) and don't Google because it will just give you unnecessary stress.
