A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you opt out for chemotherapy for breast cancer what is the process you go through?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not sure if 'opt: Out' means 'refuse' or 'decide to stop'. Either is a serious decision that requires discussion with 1 or more medical oncologists. The 'oncotype' process defines benefit and risk of chemo in some. However, depending on many factors (size, nodal status, receptors), the consequences vary. Perfect for second or third opinion.
