It's completely understandable to want to know about all available treatment paths, especially when navigating decisions after previous treatments. If radiation therapy doesn't provide the desired results, there are typically additional options that oncologists can discuss, including various surgical approaches, hormone therapy, or other systemic treatments depending on individual circumstances. Having an open conversation with the medical team about backup plans and discussing concerns about different treatment approaches can help ensure the best personalized care strategy moving forward.
