It's always a good idea to be vocal and alert your doctor to have a transparent conversation such as this. Some doctors make the introduction of these types of conversations but other times you may have to be persistent in understanding your options...maybe this opens up conversation of clinical trials and such. Wishing you the very best and let us know if by being vocal and asking if on your next visit sparked further conversation or not. Thank you for sharing and wishing you all the very best!
