Thanks so much for your reply Lisa.
Yes we are going to surgeon appt on Monday, but concerned that surgeon will say why are you here, and we’ll need to explain, then have him say I’ll need to speak to oncologist. Oncologist made it seem to us that time is of the essence.
I certainly understand that there are many patients, but getting no response for 3 weeks (since CT was resulted on 4/15) seems unprofessional and uncaring.
Yes, I have reiterated the appt date via several venues - in office for weekly blood test, left vm on clinician phone line, submitted request via online patient portal. I only once received 1 response that office is awaiting dr call back. We feel let down by oncologist.
Just thinking how we could make best decision if no definitive clinical direction. Might a PetScan perhaps reveal if cancer specks remain in adrenal gland?
