Re: New Oncologoist needed - Final Straw

Karen....An Angel flight??? An Angel flight to New York sounds nice just because I have never been!!

Jackie, that makes total since too about chemopause, and I don't want to do more damage or age more then I already feel I have. I find more out from the people on this board then my doctor, and I find reassurance from it!

Tricia, he ordered the blood test and scheduled me to come back in August. I guess my face to face would have to wait until then.

I know this might sound bad, but I almost feel they did treatments for over a year and now I don't have any. Now, it seems even more like who cares if you get a new ONC.

Jackie, I will PM you about the doctor's in Indy!! Thank you very MUCH!!!

Isn't it lovely to wake up in Indiana with MORE SNOW!! Winter can be over now!! Bring on Spring!!
