This is pretty interesting. Do you live in a remote area with few specialists/oncologists? I think I have seen on here that others have gone to their GP instead of an oncologist. Did you tell her you were uncomfortable with that? In reality, a GP can do anything an oncologist can do as long as everything is good...I think. I go every 3 months and I do get a breast exam and my oncologist asks me how I feel on the medicine and he does monitor my CA27.29. Why can’t a GP do this? If something is not right, then immediately go to an oncologist. Are there other oncologists in your area? You might switch to one of them if you think it would be good. Personally, I would be uncomfortable seeing my guy less often than I do (around every 3 months) because psychologically I know he is a genius and I have faith in him and his decisions. He is the chief of oncology for a large hospital network which is allied with MSK. He is excited about cancer, genetics, and clinical trials. I think he is into learning more and more about cancer every day. So, I guess if I were you and felt at all uncomfortable with the setup now, I would either tell her or look for a new Dr. A good GP will know if something is off with you if you go regularly and have blood work done and the necessary mamos and MRIs if needed. My daughter’s GP picked up on the fact that my daughter has a very rare liver disease. She did not know anything about the disease, but sent her on to specialists who diagnosed after her blood work showed something that was out of the norm for a while. Psychologically, I need to know that I can see my guy real fast if needed.
