Anyone ever request a new oncologist mid-treatment?

Thank you for posting your CA125 numbers.
I had heard they could be in the thousands but didn't realize how much they can move after each cycle.
I only wish lab work had been done on me prior to surgery as I have no baseline except the CA125 I received last week before my first cycle.

@mtstack you can still have them. I had the baseline before treatments. I did not have surgery until after I finished the first 6 treatments. That was June 30th. My surgery was Aug 20th and by then my numbers had jumped to 228 so my oncologist wanted me get started asap on this other session of chemo because it turns out I'm HER2+ so I qualify for more targeted chemo. You can still get CA125. They may have done one and just not mentioned it. They did mine and I had to ask what they were. Ask your doctor. It's such a great feeling to watch them drop. Everytime I went for labs before a treatment I'd ask if she was doing a CA125. Lol
