Thank you Colleen! I have been tempted to ask, but don't know how to ask or start another thread. What experiences people have had with oncologists and surgeons giving totally differing diagnoses? Does this happen regularly, e.g. NO, if continues to shrink don't see why surgery needed, versus YES, it will still be required. Does it mean that they just aren't communicating, or is it a differing philosophy of sciences. I mean I DO feel they are both very great at their jobs and experiences, but it kinda has driven me crazy. Actually, from the start! (Not first time.) I try to read between the lines and have patience, but wonder if am going nuts with my understanding of what each one said... and am pretty darn practical and non-judmental. Thoughts? Worthy of discussion? And/or????

p.s. regarding Keytruda after the 3rd treatment. I DID get briefly nauseous 2 days later and threw up just a tiny bit. Nothing else except a vague "spaciness" at times. I imagine accumulative effects can do this as time goes on. Will see.
