You can also call the doctor and ask what her recommendations are after she’s spoken with the RO. Doctors sometimes are so busy that they forget or they are thinking, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” and don’t get round to it. Keep them to their word. Even if it is leaving a message with the secretary, it may goad the doctor into calling you back.

Immunotherapy is no longer just a trial. It is now marketed as Keytruda and Optiva. There are always trials out there although the patient has to be screened before being accepted into a trial.

I would go for a second opinion as Kristen suggested, even if it is to hear about another treatment plan. It will give you options.
