@patterson57, have you been able to talk to your oncologist to look at your scans together?

@colleenyoung Hi Colleen, thank you for checking with me. I decided to wait until my third scan which will be done in November. Since according to the report there was no change I'll see if the Keytruda is helping shrink the 3cm tumor. I see some indications as to why this is a sensitive subject. One person said they had no reason to question their diagnosis as if it was weird or wrong to do so. Another said I seem to be fixed on seeing the scans. I am not fixed, as you can see I am waiting for a few months. Why would they say this? Both show some push back. Some people had their oncologist show them the scans without even asking! Even though I asked in the hospital and recently I have never seen an understandable scan of my kidney tumor or the two effected vertebrae that were destroyed due to spreading of the cancer. It's like they are dodging having to do this is what it looks like. So yea, I am interested in seeing the scans!
