Re: brain mets loss still continues
Hi Hezzy,
Where are you in IL? I am a firm believer in second/third opinions and seeking a teaching hospital for those opinions. Two good spots in Chicago are Northwestern and Rush.
It is always good to have all your tests results in a file of your own. If you do seek a second opinion they will be needed.
It is hard when you are seeing more than your onc for other problems other than BC. Each has their own specific knowledge and it is hard to get them to "talk" to each other. Complicated more if you have trips to the ER.
I am sorry you are struggling right now. My prayer is that you find the right Dr who will get you on a smooth path.
Donna
