I think it would be a really good idea to contact your oncologist and get his/her opinion on it. Hopefully he can give some recomendations to your regular Doc. I would also call your Doc and tell him the concerns you have. Hopefully between the 2 of them they can find the best treatment for you.
Good luck!
