I Love my New Doctor

Tweet

I went for that second opinion today with a different oncologist about the Prolia and there is good news about the doctor. He is WONDERFUL...very understanding and thorough and told me something I never knew...the chance of my breast cancer coming back is very low due to a certain score that my previous oncologist never went over with me. This doctor is a general oncologist, not specializing in breast cancer, but says he knows the right people to go to if he has any questions about a breast cancer patient. He does have other breast cancer patients. He said now that I am doing things that will hopefully prevent the osteopenia from getting worse, we can hold off on the Prolia and get another scan, later on, to see how things look then. We will do another bone density scan in July. He did ask me if breast cancer ran in the family to which I said no. Then he asked about cancer in other family members and I mentioned my Dad and my grandmother both had cancer. Then he asked if I would be okay with having a blood test done that will tell if there is any cancer present in my body. Yikes...that is scary! I said I will do it, so I go for that tomorrow. He said we will follow up on the results next week. This test is scary because it could be positive. But I guess if it is, then it's better to know early rather than later after any cancer has spread. If you are a praying person, all prayers are appreciated that I don't have any cancer present in my body. Thanks in advance.
