Navigating Treatment Options for early stage 1
Hi. I was diagnosed with early stage 1 in April. since then I have seen first surgeon for lumpectomy, successful removal of small tumor and no spread to lymph nodes, and now a Radiotherapist. I'm feel...
thank you for your replies. So far I have seen surgeon, radiotherapy oncologist and today medical oncologist - it seems not one of them can answer all my questions. I will reach out to the nurse to get her thoughts too - thank you. My info re: radiotherapy side effects came direct from the radiologist. I agree internet can be dangerous but am really struggling how to be fully informed - eg. I asked the medical oncolgost today what the benefits of doing both radiotherapy and hormone therapy was, and she didn't know. She only knew the stats on hormone therapy. If anyone knows the combined stats, please do let me know. Also, how long do the benefits of radiotherapy last? (I will email the radiotherapist, I forgot to ask her)
