    I'm sorry you had to go through this.
    It's scary when there's confusion among the medical profession. We really rely on the doctors to know what their doing but that's not always the case. Ask questions if you feel any doubt at all. Sometimes I have to remember that when I'm shuffled from one doctor to another...we need to remember we're our own best advocates!

    Love and hugs to you. I hope all goes well.

    Have you contacted another
    Have you contacted another rads oncologist? Please let your oncologist know what is going on. You need to get some help from a doctor, other than your rads oncologist.


    Prayers and hugs,
