| 내용주기 | Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Contents -- Foreword -- Part 1: Suspicions of Metastatic Breast Cancer -- Questions 1-8 cover topics related to the initial diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer, including: -- 1. What is metastatic breast cancer? -- 2. How is it possible that my breast cancer came back after I completed all of the treatments I was advised to do? -- 3. I have heard that breast cancer grows more slowly in older women and doesn't need to be treated. Is that true? -- 4. How will my oncologist decide how to treat my metastatic breast cancer? 5. My doctor waited for me to have symptoms before doing any scans. Could he have found my cancer earlier if he had done regular scans after my first diagnosis? -- 6. How long is it going to take before I know if I have metastatic breast cancer? -- 7. How did this happen? Should I have had more treatment originally when I was diagnosed? -- 8. I want to get treatment under way immediately, but everything is taking too long. Why can't I start treatment now? -- Part 2: Ensuring You Are in Good Hands-Selecting the Multidisciplinary Oncology Team to Take Care of You Questions 9-18 discuss the selection of your multidisciplinary oncology team, and important criteria to look for, including: -- 9. How do I know I'm receiving the best and most appropriate care for my current situation? -- 10. How can I participate in the decision making about my treatment? -- 11. I've heard the terms multidisciplinary care or tumor board used. What are these, and should I be requesting them for myself? -- 12. Why would I be participating in a clinical trial now? I thought they were just for women with breast cancer that hasn't spread. 13. My surgery was done when I was originally diagnosed with breast cancer. Will I still need a breast surgeon to be involved now? -- 14. How do I select a medical oncologist who will be primarily responsible for my care and treatments? -- 15. Do I need a radiation oncologist? -- 16. How do I make sure my medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and family doctor are communicating with one another and not relying on me to give them updates? -- 17. Who do I call when I have an emergency or urgent problem? 18. The stress of thinking about what may lie ahead is overwhelming to me. Who can help me with these feelings? -- Part 3: Decisions Regarding Surgery and Radiation for the Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer -- Questions 19-25 share information regarding surgery and radiation, with topics including: -- 19. I had a lumpectomy and axillary node dissection done three years ago, and now the cancer has returned to my bones. Will the doctor need to do a mastectomy now? -- 20. My cancer has spread to my brain and is located in one spot. What are the treatment options for this type of metastasis? |
