Re: no confidence in onc or radiologist

I agree with the others, that you should get a second opinion. You may have to pay for the consultation but it would be worth the peace of mind and the clarification that it should provide.

Does the facility where you get treatment have any sort of patient advocate or social service who could intervene for you?
Keep the faith. Let us know what happens.
