I want to but I don't know how. I asked my surgeon in an email what she thought - just a few minutes ago. She knows my Ki-67 number and probably can answer some of my questions. I won't refuse treatment that I would benefit from. However, I want to make an informed decision not based on "it's another tool for your arsenal." I also asked my oncologist if he still met as a team to discuss patients and if they all came to the same decision; but he didn't answer that question. So I'm just wondering what to do. I'm trying to figure out if Stage IIIA is considered early or advanced breast cancer. I just don't know what the other traits are for taking this drug besides early stage breast cancer with HR pos and HER neg. I don't think I fit the trait of aggressive cancer or treatment that didn't work. I just need to know why I'm a candidate for a new drug that had only 5,600 people and 17% dropped out because of side effects. I will do what will help my survival rate but I need facts, it to be based on me and not be grouped. I also need for him to hear that I do have lung issues and that the radiation also has (although) rare inflammation of the lungs now until 6 months after the treatments. Phew, thank you for listening and helping me as I vent.
