Rads clinical trial here I come!

Aruba

Hi ladies. I met with my RO first time today for rads and am going to do a clinical trial. Will find out in few days if i get standard 6 week radiation or slightly higher dose for three weeks which has been studied and used often in Canada trial. SE the same and in all studies so far no difference in outcome. This is stage 3 clinical trial so this one now gathering data on much bigger pool of people. I love my RO and she feels very good about this. Guess either way i can say i am helping those in the future get best treatment possible. Had CAT scan and bloodwork today. Will get call about next steps and which rad direction I go by end of week. Needed to be within 50 days of surgery and have one other medium risk factor (mine is that oncotype at 26). We shall see.. I have never had to make so manymajor decisions in such a short time.
