You are only going to be as limited as your ability to self-educate what options are available before you meet with oncologists. (Or have an educated advocate present.) Study up on trials -- eg LATITUDE, CHARTED, PEACE, etc. Use your doctor's language and they will not be as likely to assume you are ignorant and dismiss spurious concerns.
A doctor's time is very limited. You owe it to yourself to walk into appointments with reasoned questions written out.
