Is It Necessary To See A Mammosite Oncologist After Being Diagnosed With Stage 1 Breast Cancer?
I have been diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer. I opted for a lumpectomy and mammosite brachytherapy for my radiation treatment. Is it really necessary that I see a medical oncologist? What is the medical field s general theory on cannabis oil as an alternative treatment? What about herbs and spices? I m really opposed to the thought of doing chemo, but I m not sure I should voice that opinion to the doctor I have yet to meet. My first appointment is April 2nd.
