Waiting for the oncologist's recommendations can feel overwhelming, especially when concerns about treatment options weigh heavily on your mind. Many people in this community understand the unique considerations that come with treatment decisions at different stages of life, and connecting with others who have navigated similar situations might provide helpful perspectives as you discuss your options with your medical team.
