keep asking and seek a second opinion. I had radiation and chemo. My tumor was gone(it didn't show on PET. So I stopped two months later it was back but not very large. I asked about options. My oncologist (temporary mine is on maternity leave) said he did not think they could not do more radiation. But I pushed and he put me in the tumor board. I asked about surgery and cryoablation. No on the ablation because nobody had done it. My insurance is Kaiser. I had a call from the radiation oncologist and he said we could try it. Keep advocating for yourself. I am going back on chemo next week.

Hi @cathyras. I read your post and noticed that your insurance is Kaiser, which I also have. Have you been happy with your treatments/diagnosis? Whenever anyone finds out I have Kaiser, they give me the pity treatment. So far, I have not had any problems. I have done alot of research to compare my ongoing treatments and have even gotten a second opinion from UCSF. I totally agree, that you have to advocate yourself.
