Treatment options for breast cancer



After the lump or mass is found, what is next?  Work with your family doctor/primary care provider to get diagnosis and appropriate treatment.  You will probably see specialists (maybe several). The options are many and include Surgery, Hormone therapy, Radiation, Chemotherapy, Targeted therapy, bone-directed therapy.  The doctors who become involved in your treatment will develop a plan for you as an individual who has a specific type of breast cancer.  Talk to those doctors, learn about your specific type of cancer and what to expect from the treatment plan.  http://www.cancer.org/Cancer/BreastCancer/DetailedGuide/breast-cancer-treating-general-info
