Do not disregard any treatment based on others side effects or results. Everyone is an individual.

It is like watching commercials for drugs and they start listing all possible side effects, and it makes you wonder why anyone would take.

BUT knowing pros and cons of different treatments can help you have an informative conversation with provider.

I remember asking my radiations oncologist about protein beam radiation for my breast cancer and he told me that other radiation form was more effective for my type of cancer.

So write down list of questions about various treatments and reoccurrence results, side effects, etc...

And if you start a treatment and have side effects, can always stop or try something different.

P,S, I had ER+ HR- breast cancer at 63, lumpectomy on left breast and two positive lymph nodes. I had chemo, radiation of left breast, breast bone, collar bone and armpit, tried multi AIs and then stopped due to side effects.
