I follow my doc around if he ignores my concerns. I would also get a second opinion. I have been there and done that. Recently I got a third opinion which helped to move things along. I remind my doc when it is time for tests like cat scans, mammograms, Pet scans, MRIs, ultra sounds, blood tests etc. I keep those things on my list and remind him the next time I see him if he doesn't respond the first time. Doctors are human beings. They forget things. They get overwhelmed or stressed out by work just like we do some times. I tell mine that I am helping him to help me when I remind him about things.
It pays to be as proactive and assertive as we can be.
Keep going !! Follow your intuition. If you think you need help, please find ways to get it.
