Interesting... I have had not much faith in my "locum" onc, as both times she has seen me about results she has been happy with the blood work, just gave me more pain meds, and lo and behold both times I have had new mets in my hip last year, and back to my hip and new to my sacrum this year.
I have found it hard to discuss things, as she clearly doesn't know me so well... today I bit the bullet to go back for a room appt...(rather than a quick catch up when I am in for denosumab next week,). I changed from tamoxifen to femara last year with the met dx...and apart from the denosumab am not on anything else...had 5 rads in 2013 and 10 lower does bigger area this year. So when I asked her what happens next (at the last denosumab shot) she brushed me off and said to make an appt in the room a couple of weeks after I finished my rads. 
So it has been doing my head in... but I made the call...she can't see me, would it be better to wait til my regular onc comes back in a couple of weeks... That is fine with me, as I am still working full time... and have holidays in a couple of weeks... but am not wanting a repeat of last terms hols where I had appointments every day. 

Guess I am wondering what is next....
