I went to a medical onc on Tuesday and another one yesterday for another opinion. The one on Tuesday told me to do the AC-TH and the other said TCH. The onc yesterday showed me the study from BCIRG and that seems to be the better way to go. However, the onc from Tuesday doesn't believe there's enough evidence to support that TCH is better. I don't know if he's seen the study or not. I'm also not sure if I should have a Topo II test or not to help determine which way I should lean. The onc from Tuesday said that my chances of developing any heart issues is less than 1% but the study seems to indicate differently. Any opinions, comments, experiences, etc. would be helpful. Thanks!
