Hello @miriam57. Is your oncologist coordinating your care? Depending on the kind of cancer and stage there are so many different treatments. As @colleenyoung said when I've looked up my cancer (endometroid adenocarcinoma) on the internet so much of the information is not specific to me although does give me some good background information.

In my situation when recurrent cancer was found I had a referral to radiation oncology. I came prepared with questions to ask the doctor. He reviewed what had been found and what he recommended. Then it was up to me to decide if that's what I wanted to do. So I'm doing radiation treatment right now at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.

Had chemotherapy or another targeted therapy been recommended I would have asked all kinds of questions about what to expect. How long will I have to do this? What are the side effects and then ask myself how this would effect my quality of life? What about my other health issues? How does that figure in to radiation or chemotherapy?

When do you meet with radiation oncology? Will you then go back to your oncologist to discuss what you want to do? I felt and still feel overwhelmed with what I'm doing and being away from home for so long. How are you feeling about all of this?
