After the cancer is found and staged, your cancer care team will discuss treatment options (choices) with you. Depending on the stage of the cancer, your overall health, and other factors, your treatment options may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy or other drugs, surgery, or some combination of these.
It is important to take time and think about all of your choices. If time permits, seeking a second opinion is often a good idea. It can give you more information and help you feel more confident about the chosen treatment plan. Some insurance companies may require a second opinion before they will agree to pay for treatments.
