The doubling is since 9/23. Radiologist suggests MRI with contrast. Size is 4.2 and 4.0, one with high density. I simply cannot get local upstate NY doc to respond to even get order. If needed I can travel albeit with hardship to Sloan Kettering. After reading prior posts, I believe, if need be, I’d be in better hands. At least at Sloan, phone calls are picked up and reps answer phones. But here’s the question, can one do surgery at let’s say, Sloan and do chemo locally? I am thinking ahead. It is a nightmare even getting basic labs for imaging (as required for contrast).
