I have seen two different medical oncologists who have recommended two different chemotherapies for advanced disease. How do I know which one to take?
There is no single “gold standard” chemotherapy approach to metastatic breast cancer. Treatments are chosen for their side effect profile, ease of administration, cost and convenience, as well as individual preference of the treating physician and the patient. You should discuss these factors in detail with your treating physician to see which one is right for you. It may give you some comfort to know that you have many options to choose from and there may not be any right or wrong decision.
