Second opinion
Hi all Long story but the shorter version is my oncologist did not act on my increasing ca15.3 blood marker levels which had been steadily rising over 6 months. So i , bothered by their increase got a second opinion. Well thank goodness I did. Firstly, My new oncologist could not believe my bloods levels were not acted upon. But most importantly whilst reviewing all my old scans against my most recent one last week, he noted a spot in my liver existed back in May that my old oncologist had MISSED completely which has now grown. This is the reason for my increase in tumour marker reading. Absolutely disgusting. I am now on new drugs abemaciclib which I just this morning paid $7,000 for and will do each month. . Anyway my reason for posting is to follow your intuition. I knew something was nt right with my tumour marker. Ps I also got a third opinion and again absolutely shocked and he apologised for my 1st oncologists huge mistake. Thankfully he has agreed with my new oncologist that the pathway I am now on is the correct one. am feeling so angry and am wanting to take legal advice so my old oncologist is held accountable. And she never overlooks another patients scan results or blood markers again
