Question: Why do people with the same cancer get different treatment and have different problems?

Answer: A lot depends on the stage of the disease and on the particular person. For instance, in breast cancer with involved lymph nodes, if you are postmenopausal, the best treatment may be a hormone tablet. If you are premenopausal, it may be chemotherapy.
