finally went to oncologist yesterday!
Hi everyone. I finally went to the oncologist yesterday after 3 years all she did was palpate my abdomen ,do a breast manual exam, and since I told her that my neck has been stiff for quiet awhile she palpated around the clavicle .(I forgot to tell her my ear has been ringing for several months even though I had it cleaned.)Then she gave me a paper for a spinal film for the neck.What I am questioning is why did she not give me any blood test? The lady who took me into her waiting area wondered why there was no blood test ordered since it was 3 years. I wonder if any of you know because that is why i just go to a normal doctor and resist going to an onc. dr. . They would have done the same thing. so.......in 03 I had a 1 centimeter tumor taken out with er and pr pos. Her2 (2.7).stage 1,grade 2 with no lymph node involvement. I did not take tomoxifan and she didn`t ask about why or if I decided to take it. .She was very nice and said I will see you in another year.( on my next year ) appointment card it says to come in 15 min early for any labs.....haha They told me that for this visit also.... I truly do question the cancer deal and deep down I think since i would be considered 95% cured then she feels there is no need for further recomendations unless I have any problems. Thanks for letting me vent ,it just cost so much to go there to have nothing done as concidered a Whole assessment........shirl
