Re: What would you do?

After the experiene you describe I think you would not be comfortable until a complete evaluation was done, with explainations of what is causing the pain. Nor should you settle for less. They can't just tell you what it isn't. They need to tell you what it IS. You deserve that.
I think alot of here have had sketchy experiences with our cancer journey and it has made us all the more proactive.
Meanwhile, keep the faith. And keep the pressure on!
