Guest guest Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Hello ladies - I am working on picking an oncologist. How many of your oncologists automatically ordered the CEA and CA25.27 tumor markers? I've read that their use is controversial in detecting recurrent cancers. I'm trying to figure out if one oncologist orders them, is she more aggressive in her treatment protocol? Also, has anyone's oncologist recommended a MUGA instead of an echocardiogram to establish baseline and watch for heart damage due to chemo? I liked both oncologists and I need to pick one of them very soon. I've decided to go with the lumpectomy followed by chemo/radiation/estrogen-blocker, with full knowledge that I may need to have a mastectomy or bi-lateral mastectomy in the future. My surgery is scheduled for Monday, the 19th and I'm very NERVOUS. Thanks all, Janet B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
