Dear qwilliams: The following are two very good sources of information about breast cancer: http://www.breastcancer.org. and http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/types/breast. Treatment options depend on the specifics of the situation, including cell types, tumor size, type of surgery, hormone receptor status, HER2 neu status and a variety of other factors. This should be discussed with the surgeon, oncologist and radiation oncologist in order to determine the best course of treatment in any individual case.
Hi, I use a lot of different sites to look for more information,here are a few that I hope will help you:-
www.cancerbackup.org.uk
www.imaginis.com
www.womenshealth.gov
www.med.nyu.edu
www.breastcancer.org
There is also an ONLINE ONCOLOGIST (just type that into Google or whichever you use)
he will give you answers, I have used this site.
There are so many different sites, but if you need more, just let me know.
Wishing you well
Hazel
