I would never suggest a treatment. I am not a doctor. And the thing I've really become aware of is everybody situation is different.
Your current health status has a lot to do with it. My cancer was very, very aggressive, and I was way too young for Stage 4, therefore, being in good health, the treatment plan was aggressive as well.
I am blessed to have an awesome doctor. She will talk to me as long as I have questions. And....I have had a lot of questions. I usually make a list and take it with me. I will tell you this: Radiation was painless. The hormone treatments had some side effects but not too bad. Chemotherapy is horrible. I would compare it to being really, really hungover all the time, like 24-7. And of course, surgery really hurts.
Just keep on asking questions.
