…just since my cancer diagnosis in 2010. There are lots more tools in the oncology toolkit and good doctors listen to their patients concerns. You are also your own person and will respond to treatment in your own way, so never compare your outcome to someone else’s.
But most importantly, don’t jump to conclusions. Go through the diagnostics and get second/third/fourth opinions on treatment if you’re not comfortable with what you hear. NCI-designated Comprehensive Care Centers have all the latest treatments & clinical trials. Teaching hospitals are also very good.
Lots of research and some changing theories on treating very, very early stage breast & prostate cancers, like maybe we’ve been over treating it with surgery when close monitoring would be more appropriate?
We’ll be sending you lots of love & light & comforting thoughts while you navigate through this bit of turbulence.
