Re: New member question
Hey, it's good to see my buddy AA here! She has always been wise counsel!
Please don't hesitate to get to cardiologist. We often need to step over the people in our way. Make your own arrangements if you must. Just request your files be sent. Here, we are entitled to access our files and have copies made. Sadly we can't always count on caregivers to do the right thing so we need to be our own advocates
And I still don't understand how your oncologist dropped you if you are still going to be receiving cancer medications.
Keep the faith.
