I was diagnosed with bc in 2022 in Kansas City. They took X-rays for years and said all they say was a shadow and didn’t do a biopsy for three years. When they went in I had full blown cancer which was hormonal aggressive. They removed the cancer. But because they didn’t anticipate cancer they had to go back and take lymph nodes which showed they got it all for now. I had a choice of hormone therapy and radiation. The radiation doctor tried to convince me that I should take radiation for a medical trial and that there were no side effects. He said my age group which is 70 had not been researched. I found that he was wrong and he could have financially benefit. So far I am free from cancer but am suffering from the effects of the drug.
I now live in Jacksonville Fl. And wonder if I should have done the radiation for 5 days a week for 5 weeks like he wanted. He said there were no side effects at all.

There are side effects to everything! And no guarantees! We make the best choice we can with the information we have at the time. These are tough decisions. I wish you well 💗

I had side effects and mine was only 5 days during 1 week. It doesn´t mean that you are going to have side effects because everyone is different but I think is good that doctors set the right expectations from the begining.

Asking for a second medical opinion I think is always a smart decision. Best wishes for you! @jesusmaryjoseph77
