The only advice that I can give is to be your own best advocate. I've had a sibling going through multiple types of cancer. We've found that it helps to keep everything written down. Notes on visits, medications, etc.

She has so many different doctors that they sometimes prescribe against one another. So, it's always best to learn as much as you can about your own situation, be informed, and don't be shy about speaking up and INSISTING that you get the correct care.

That said, I sincerely wish you the very best. I wish you strength, peace and love.
