Even if the docs think you shouldn't do any other tests, they should at least explain why they make those decisions. And if you don't feel comfortable with the way you are treated, find another doctor. Travel to another hospital if you need to. Go online and find a good doc in your area, someone you can trust.

This is your life, your body and your fear we are talking about. It shouldn't be their decision whether you get tested or not. It should be at least something you decide on together.
