DESPERATELY need advice
Went to the oncologist tonight. I am more confused than ever. Since I am
stage 1, he leans toward only tamoxofen. He believes the side effects of chemo are greater than the benefit gained by a stage 1 person. But, he would give me chemo if I wanted. Said herceptin is only given in conjuction with chemo so I would not need that even tho I am her+. Asked about the oncotype test and he didn't feel the information was anymore than what we already know. Said if I got a second opinion he feels it would be 99% in favor of chemo, but he has been around a long time (will retire in August) and he knows it isn't always the best choice. I don't know what to think. I feel worse rather than better. will call for a second opinion tomorrow, but...... Please offer any advice. I need it so. I am 47 years old, premenopausal, pr+ er+ her+++ stage 1. thanks. susan
