questions to ask my oncologist ?

hi folks-had a successful wle with clear margins-grade 3 -no hormone therapy but rads x 15 in about a month-what should i be asking-any ideas please ? x

there are lots of links on here about what creams and lotions and deodernts to use during rads, have a look through them, it seems that every hospital is different. Also ead the post --aqueous cream even boots agree. I am going to print off the boots report and show it to my skin nurse.

ask about other services, my hospital provides a masseur to deal with cording which i am very interested in.

I am sure choccie muffin will be along with list of other questions

Hi so another triple neg lady & you only need rads like I did all I can say is write anything down that comes to mind ready for your onc, you might want a copy of your path report. Being TN do ask their reasons for chemo not benefitting you sounds like you possibly had a tiny tumor clean nodes & margin & no vessels attached or invaision All good news on that score. Don’t ever feel a question is silly believe me I had pages of questions each time for my onc that on our last meeting he said at the end any questiones to which I replied NO hahaha his face was a picture & one of shock :slight_smile:

All the best & do keep intouch

thanx ladies-i am so ill-informed-is that what triple negative means ? grade 3 ?? i have got myself so confused -i think the surgeon said i was hormone receptive but i had a blood test to see if i’m post menopausal as i had a hysterectomy 20 years ago but still have ovaries (am 57 on sunday )-did she say hormone positive-think i definitely need a copy of that path report !!! i had exactly what you describe so it’s reassuring to hear you say that’s good news-thanx for your help-weds can’t come quick enough -stella x

also-i had dcis-i don’t think chemo works on this type of bc-stella x
