Oncs should allow patients to get tests when she has some suspicion of abnormality. The oncs also have a responsibility of advising the patients the cumulative danger of radiation (as well as chemo). Ultrasound and MRI, whenever applicable, should be suggested.

This is the treatment I did almost 12 months ago.

They treated 3 tumours, very professionally. Their results is similar to resection but with incomparable post op stress, it was done in few hours and went home in the evening. I am eternally grateful to them
