My oncologist feels the same way. I asked him if I was going to get all these tests and he said no! No tumor markers, either. I am ER/PR neg and HER2 +++, stage 1 node neg, on herceptin every three weeks and he does see me before each treatment, examines my breast and feels lymph nodes and will talk with me and my husband. I do have a Muga scan every 3 months. I really do like him. We all hope we have good doctors looking after us.
I'm glad this subjest came up because I thought it was only my doctor that wasn't prescribing all these tests.
