Treatment for stage 3A breast cancer typically involves a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and often radiation, with your medical team creating a personalized plan based on specific factors. Many people in this community have shared helpful experiences about managing side effects like hair loss, scalp care, nutrition during treatment, and considerations around genetic testing - these are all great questions to discuss with the oncology team who can provide guidance tailored to the specific situation including managing diabetes and hypertension during treatment.
