Breast cancer: First listen to what the oncologist has likely already reviewed regarding the breast cancer, stage, cell type, hormone receptors. The oncologist will also likely review the current standards in care & best treatment options. You could ask if there is a research study to enter. Ask about the various treatment options that were discussed, their risks & side effects. Ask if you do not understand.
