The choice is Radiotherapy starting straight away or Surgery in approximately 5 months , what are the chances of the cancer continuing to grow in the 5 months . thank you
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Decisions about treatment are never easy to make and it is important you get a better understanding about each option to make the right choice for you.
Unfortunately without being involved in your care we cannot say if waiting 5 months will make a difference to your overall outcome. This is something only your own doctor can advise you about. Every cancer is different in it's make up and the way that is grows and behaves, some are very slow growing whereas others are more aggressive and faster growing.
The only other thing I would say is if the doctors are willing for you to wait 5 months for surgery then they must think it is safe to do so.
As I say I think you need to go back and speak with your specialist team again to get these questions answered. It will only be then that you can make a decision about what to choose.
Please get back in touch if you need to or if you prefer give us a call on 0808 800 4040, we're here weekdays 9-5.
