Cancer.org - Treatment Decision Tools
Check this website cancer.org under treatment decision tools, there is a list of questions. Ask about fertility depending on your age, also you may be interested in clinical trials. Your Onc will go over your ER/PR status and usually has a complete spiel with their recommendations. You might also be interested in the OncotypeDX test that will give more clear recommendations for chemo if needed.
Information is power, if you are even slightly prepared it will help you understand what the doc is talking about. If possible, take a support person to help you remember what the Onc said, also take a note book and ask the MD to explain any and everything you have a question about.
