Underlying confitions

Hi - before you start immunotherapy you have to have an ECG which is "checked" before you can have your drugs.  No idea what would constitute an "unsuitable" trace though,  

It's strange. First Consultant I saw explained about the cancer. Said treatable but not curable. Discussed TKI and even went as far as to say if results were promising after a couple of years they may look to take kidney out. 4 weeks later see Oncologist who tells me not suitable for treatment of any kind and that I have about 12 months. I am seriously considering asking for a second opinion.

Yeah, second opinion sounds good.  That's what I'd go for.  Especially if you have no hard stats for why you can't have treatment.  For example something like "threshold for treatment is bloods below/above blah. " 

Can no diabetic be treated for cancer, ever?  Sounds strange to me. 

Do you have a "named consultant" in oncology who  you have been assigned to.  In my dept I have a named consultant but beneath him there's a whole team and I might see any one of them.  Although it's predominantly the same one, who is junior to my named consultant.  .
