Hi Maureen, I am sorry you are dealing with this. Sounds like your new onc is being super cautious, as by continuing to tx you without a tissue confirmation can be abit dicey. I would encourage you to have your new onc to speak directly to your onc in Dallas. They can then discuss your case ND rationale between themselves, and Then YOU can decide which way to proceed.
If it was me, I would stay the course and watch for any changes to this area. If its it scarring it won't change .
I hope somehow this helps.
Let us know, how things go.
