Hi, I have had surgery to remove a large tumour from my breast, triple negative BC. The NHS suggest chemotherapy first however I feel so scared. I am considering radiotherapy hoping for less side effects.
My question is: as the surgeon has removed the tumour how do we know that I still have cancer? Wouldn't it make sense to test bloods/scan to see if the cancer is still there or not. Why radiate someone who may no longer have cancer?
Thanks
