How do you deal with monitoring a lung nodule and anxiety?

Yes, we have what is called my chart, where you can ask your doctor for information and get prescriptions refilled, etc.
This is where I am asking my doctor to let me know about the nodules in my lungs caused from
MBCancer.
The doctor wants every three months a Pet scan.
The last one, I asked her if I could go every four to six months.
She agreed to 4 months for the pet scans.
I have now sent two requests to have the radiologist provide the information on my nodules.
So far, there has been no response from her office.
Tomorrow, I will ask her nurse why she is not getting back to me.
I have never had any doctor ignoring my request up until now.

@millard, Keep trying. There may be communication going on behind the scenes. The radiologist may not contact you (my experience is that they don't generally talk to patients, but different health systems may work differently). The radiologist may be communicating with your oncologist. I would continue to request more info from the oncologist's nurse, or whoever you can. And you're right to feel that this shouldn't be this hard.
