Hi Sassy,


First of all, don't apologize. There is no such thing as "small potatoes." You feel how you feel and you are justified to express that to us. After all you've been through, it is natural to feel the way you feel. I describe it as learning to live with our 'new normal." It takes time.

I, too, can appreciate your apprehension in a new onc. My onc. is leaving the end of May. I was "assigned" a new onc to "help make the transition smoother" but wasn't satisfied with their pick for me. I never met the new onc picked for me. He is just finishing up his fellowship. I did a little research on my own........got some word of mouth referrals from nurses at the hospital I go too (Froedtert and Medical College) and decided who was right for me. I agree that it is stressful and we only want what is best for us. We are all different so what's best for one isn't necessarily best for another.

Hugs to you sweet sassy! Life will get better.........I promise.

Smile and I send God's Peace and Love your way.

Mary Jo
