First Post-Treatment Scan: Uncertain about next steps

I would be concerned about waiting three months when there is more activity. I would want a scan just for peace of mind even though the radiation oncologist sees no reason for alarm.

You could meet with an oncologist, not necessarily a radiation oncologist and see what they think.

Hi,

I have expressed my concern as well as asked to be referred to a medical oncologist. I also thought today that I should ask about the size of the treated tumors and how that has changed from October. That might be helpful to me to understand better how the treatment is going.

If I don't hear back from her in a week, I'll be looking for a second opinion.

I also saw a new acupuncturist today and liked her very much. I have a lot going on and was very moved by her thoroughness as well as skill. After seeing her, I felt the best I've felt in a very long time! I'll be going back to her, I'm sure.

Thank you!
