Or may my oncologist will suggest it in next visit.

It’s best for you to meet your Oncologist once and ask him about the difference. Mostly he will prescribe some more. If he hasn’t, he will tell you why he is not prescribing, maybe because of some cardiac reason or other. There is always some variation from Oncologist to Oncologist and there will always be a sound reason. So just Ask your Oncologist your doubts and I am sure he will help to clarify them.
