Hi
Was diagnosed in March with bc and receiving treatment privately as my husband has Bupa cover from work so we thought I may as well make use of it.
Don’t get me wrong the treatment is going really well but when I go for consultations with my Oncologist I don’t feel as if I’ve been told as much as I would like to be told. I ask the questions but she just seems to push them aside. I have to ask about test reults which I would have thought she would be forth coming about as surely that is one of the reasons for the appointments. Last time I went she had forgotten I’d had an ultra sound scan and a marker put in. When I asked for the result her secretary hadn’t put the results in my file so I had to tell her by how much my tumour had shrunk. I have never had any path lab results, have no idea what sort of tumour it is even though I have asked and never receive any copies of letters sent to my GP.
Everyone else on here seems to know so much more than I do about their condition. What should I do? My next onc appt is Thursday and I know I’ll be in and out in max of 10 mins not knowing any more than I did before.
