I generally don't see my main oncologist (who sets my protocol) more than once every 6 months unless there's a panic. I get Herceptin every 3 weeks and the oncologist at the chemo, will look up at me but if I don't have a question for her, she doesn't talk to me either. i do talk to the nurses while they're setting me up and if I have some side effect, they'll mention it to the doctor on hand. I'm not troubled by not seeing an oncologist every time but then I feel I'm on a certain program and if I need to see someone, I can. The chemo oncologist generally wants to see everyone's blood test (weekly ) and a heart test every 3 months. Oncologists are super busy but if you have a worrying question or concern, you should find someone you trust to answer your questions.
