I'll tell you that with my first cancer I went through chemo and thought I was fine until my plastic surgeon found a recurrent tumor in my chest wall 3 years later.  I loved my original oncologist, and my radiation oncologist was great as well - but when it came time to find out what to do after radiation I had a hard time with oncologist.  The first originally said no chemo was needed but then changed his mind.  I stood my stance for quite a while because I really didn't want that poison in me again - but then again my situation is different than most.  I knew chemo wasn't needed as I had no evidence of it spreading anywhere and my chest wall and arm pit had radiation to prevent it from coming back there.  I knew I only needed hormone therapy.  Well I agreed to finially do chemo then he tells me it would be 6 months.  Obviously I was not happy cause the longer the chemo takes, the longer I have to wait for reconstruction surgery - so in reality I would be waiting at least a year,  So I sought out a new oncologist and he validated every point I had.  He ran a PET scan and it was all clear so we just moved on to hormone therapy.  The key truly is finding the RIGHT oncologist - educate yourself, speak your mind, talk about your options and decided as a team.  It is your body and you do not have to do everything anyone tells you to do, yet at the same time you do need to do what is necessary to keep cancer at bay.

Good luck!
