Not good. You need to ask your current oncologist for all your paperwork, test results etc. They are yours.

Your side effects may have occurred in any event - I have terrific medicos and still have Taxol induced damage in my feet - but I was always informed, able to discuss options and have some sense of control. Without that, it's easy to feel that you have been handled rather than treated. Best wishes.
