I don't know my dosages - another question I should ask my onc then? I usually just go along trusting him, but recently, because the snippy nurse who gave me my infusion this week made an error I called my onc to double-check - turns out she was wrong about how often to check my liver enzymes. She said once every three months was the rule - but my onc said EVERY time I get an infusion he wants my liver enzymes checked until they are normal (I had liver enzymes problems in the hospital due to staph infection, gall stone, etc.)
ANYWAY - I need to learn to stop feeling intimidated by this nurse - and get used to asking my onc the questions. He's a doll - and I never feel weird talking to him. Unfortunately, I don't routinely see my onc when I get my infusions.....that's why I'll have to call him.
