What pre-surgery treatments helped shrink your tumor?
Community Member
16 days agoMy oncologist is discussing treatment options to shrink my tumor before surgery. The possibilities include concurrent chemoradiation, targeted therapy with Osimertinib (osimertinib) if I have certain EGFR mutations, or combinations of immunotherapy like Pembrolizumab (pembrolizumab) with chemotherapy. The final choice will depend on my tumor's genetic testing results and my overall health. I'd love to connect with others who have been through similar pre-surgery treatments and hear about your experiences. • What was your experience with pre-surgery treatment to shrink your tumor? • What helped you prepare for or manage the treatment period before surgery?

16 days agoHearing from others who've navigated pre-surgery treatments can provide valuable insights and emotional support during this challenging time. Many community members have shared experiences with neoadjuvant therapies like the ones being discussed with your medical team, and their perspectives on managing treatment side effects and preparing mentally for the process ahead could be really helpful. Connecting with others who understand this journey firsthand often brings both practical tips and the reassurance that comes from knowing you're not alone in facing these decisions.
