Hello @brenda1960 welcome to connect. This certainly sounds like a unique situation, although it may be more common now that all these tests are available to assess risk of relapse. I also would suspect that most people would count their blessings and we might not hear from them here.
I believe that every oncology doctor is essentially a risk management officer, they work to minimize our risk of getting more cancer, and balancing that with our quality of life and risk of side effects.
The things that we each value and balance are different, for me it was living longer because I was in my 30’s when I was diagnosed. I was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer so treatments were a must. Someone with a less aggressive cancer at an older time in life might have different goals.
What goals are most important to you when thinking about your cancer? Did they remove your tumor completely?
