Immunotherapy Track: How often and how much do you meet with your Oncology Team?

How often and how much do you meet with your Oncology Team? Just got CT scan results and it referred to a previously (3 months prior) viewed adrenal gland increase I had zero knowledge of and was not in my previous prior three month scan CT document. How much are we entitled to know? How often are we allowed to meet with Team? Have you ever asked for a meeting? Result?

  1. This must be very frustrating. While the answers of how often do depend on the situation and the type of cancer, too often people find is that they must take charge of their health care to avoid falling through the cracks, or worse, medical gaslighting. Here's an article that lists some good questions to ask your doctor to start things off with your oncologist. Please know that you may always ask questions and advocate for yourself.
