Hello everyone,
I was diagnosed about 4 months ago with left breast cancer with bone metastases, HER2 positive.
I have completed a 6-cycle treatment with Phesgo, Docetaxel and Denosumab, and I am currently waiting for my oncology appointment on 16 February to be told what the next stage of my treatment will be.
My main difficulty is not the treatment itself, but the lack of continuity and communication.
I have only seen my main oncologist (Dr Tsalic) once. Since then, I have had a couple of appointments, but each time with a different doctor, which has left me feeling anxious and insecure. No one has really sat down with me to clearly explain the plan going forward or who is overseeing my care.
I am having my treatment at Solihull Hospital (Birmingham) and I am unsure whether changing hospitals or asking for a second opinion would make any difference, particularly in terms of communication and ongoing support.
If anyone has had a similar experience, Thank you for the guidance.
