Just reading this tonight & I am reminded of my original treatment (or lack of it).
I was waiting to start a trial. Lost 10 weeks between op and start of chemo. I thought this was ok/normal & trusted the oncology team at my local hospital. It wasn't and I progressed.
Like you none of my Doctors seemed to know or be concerned, It took an Oncologist visiting from another hospital to move things on. He immediately arranged for scans and another more suitable trial. I was in new trial within a week.
I should have made a noise!!
