Hi Chelee,

I started hormonal treatment during radiation-- there is not a clear-cut protocal for this vs. after radiation. I believe my Onc started Tamox along with radiation because of my risk of distant recurrance. In other words, she was more worried about the cancer spreading to a distant organ than she was about the local recurrance, which is what the radiation prevents. Your Oncs thinking likely runs along the same lines.

I hope you can get into a more trusting relationship with your Onc. It must be horrible to feel as though you're not getting the best treatment.

Good luck,
Jen
