I have been posting for a while now. You need to take control. If they don't respond, go to your primary Dr. and ask for help. Also, I think yo need a second opinion. Mayo in Minn or Cleveland Clinic are good choices. You need to bgin treatment ASAP. My cancer was not very agressive, but others I have seen grow at frightening rates.
I would push things as hard as you can and I THINK YOU REALLY NEED A SECOND OPINION as far as treeatment is concerned.
Good luck and keep us informed.
