My oncologist has told me to speak to my PCP to get A1c testing every three months, Cardiovascular issues, which then may be upgraded to the cardiologist, Are also referred to the PCP. Not have the swelling problem, but I imagine that also would start at the same place. Also referred me to the PCP for cholesterol testing.

My oncologist does order all the blood tests I have every month CBC, kidney tests, liver test, and PSA of course. Those are directly affected by the drugs we take. The oncologist isn’t specifically trained for those other issues.

My oncologist does the liver test and I always wandered why; so you answered my curiosity.
