I do not believe I have cut off my nose to spite my face as the hospital has made it pretty clear they only want me to take toxic harmful drugs rather than do the basics to find out the extent of the mets i.e, a pet scan. I have not even been given a bone density test but they want me on Denosumab which has a severe rebound effect just after 1 shot and that drug is responsible for terrible side effects. Is there anyone out there who has metastatic breast cancer and not had a pet scan? I do not trust a doctor who believes patients should not ask questiions and just follow them blindly as these days it is pretty simple to find info on drug trials and side effects. Also if a doctor does not have the skills to ask a patient what they want out of a treatment regime or just actually listen, they should change their profession. Also I believe a doctor should disclose if asked by a patient, what, if any perks they get from drug companies, that law changed a few years back. I am not scared of dying but terrified on how bad it will get before I do.
