Im sorry you are a cancer patient at your young age!!! You should be treated at a cancer center. Im sure your parents are taking you to your appointments and pretty much calling the shots since you are under 18. Does your doctor talk openly with your parents? It is not unusual for patients to be informed, it is unusual for them not to be! What type of doctor is treating you? You should have a whole team of doctors not just one or two. Have you seen a medical oncologist? The questions Im asking you are relevant to your treatment. If you are being seen at a cancer center you would have met with a team of doctors each with their own specialties. As a patient I feel it is very important to know what is going on and why the doctors order different tests. If you have a question, you need to ask and the doctor whould be answering you regardless of your age.
