Thanks everyone I have also enlisted the help of my breast care nurse and have also asked the question if they had adjusted the dose with my weight loss. I know they did just prior Xmas but since recommencing and that date I dropped 15 kg. Which might have also meant too higher dose. And I want a retest with the same darn technique.
I am a nurse so lingo is not an issue and enlisted the bc nurse so its not me questioning their practice but a colleague.
I'm not blaming anyone, just looking for solutions so treatment can continue. The bc nurse is goimg to phone the oncologist herself. This oncologist is not a breast cancer specialist so he needs to discuss with the one who planned my treatment initially. I'm remote so it poses issues at times like this.
