When they scheduled my first herceptin only treatment they didn't order blood work. I contacted the oncologist's scheduling multiple times and was told I no longer would get blood work. When I saw the oncologist two weeks ago I went with my blood work results from my endocrinologist but asked the doctor if I still needed blood work and she said "Yes, you had it done today, didn't you? I saw lab work." I told her I had brought those. No blood work was ordered for my future treatments either. The anastrozole requires blood work monitoring but I was told that would be the responsibility of my PCP. When I read how often others are getting blood work, it concerns me.
