It really sucks that your doctor knew this information and didn't share it with you. Do you have options to switch to another doctor or hospital? Do you have any cancer hospitals nearby that are certified as Centers of Excellence? We have Memorial Sloan Kettering in NY. These centers are supposed to offer the newest/best options for us. I also found out that my insurance company, Empire Blue Cross, has a special program for those of us that go to Centers of Excellence. They waive all copays and cover doctors that are outside of my regular network. It was a shockingly great discovery for me.
