I don't think you are doing anything wrong. would a GP prescribe chemo for someone they suspected had cancer? I think not. I should of had the courage to start refusing GP tests I knew wouldn't help me a very long time ago. I very recently complied again and it's caused me nothing but trouble and delay. my personal opinion is possibly skewed ? and I hope others give their opinion to give you a more rounded view.
