Hi. I just got this text from my doctor:
“Good evening. I reached out to Dr. Patel yesterday. He hasn’t contacted me. There was a lot “enhancement “ on the mri which could mean nothing or all of that area is cancer. I want to see his opinion. Amanda told me some of your blood work came back abnormal so I have to see what exactly”
Earlier today I asked him about the Oncotest but he didn’t mention it. I’m so bummed. When I first met this doctor he made it sound like it was probably nothing (after the diagnostic mammo and ultrasound). Then more tests and afterwards I got the DCIS diagnosis. It sounds like the cancer is more active than he originally thought. Now I’m scared, I wasn’t before. I think maybe I should get a second opinion. The radiology people are terrific but I’m not so sure about the surgeon. When he finally tells me what’s going on, I think I’ll make an appointment for a second opinion. Bleh.
