The first treatment you choose should be the one most likely to provide the best outcome.
One way to feel more in control is to learn about your cancer, treatment options, and the medical experts who are best qualified to treat your particular type of colorectal cancer. The chances of an excellent outcome may improve significantly when you get the correct diagnosis and the most appropriate treatment from the very beginning. Try to learn as much as you can. In most cases, decisions do not need to be made within a day or two of diagnosis and the outcome of your cancer therapy will not be affected by taking one or two weeks to determine the best way for you to be treated.
