Re: Tumor markers are up, & so is my anxiety!

Chelee,
I know you have never had a good realtonship with your health care team and that is criminal. I remember you always haveing problems and it is due I believe from what you have written in the past due to your insurance coverage (right)?

I also think I remember you had someone whom you contacted for help. Does the facilty where you are going have a patient advocacy dept? You must get someone
to move your file over to another dr.

Your dr. is not a good or healthy match for you.
Don't hesitate to demand another dr. it is your right
to make a change.

Sending you lots of love,
Well Wishes,
jean
PS : While I know those markers are making you worry
you know that are not reliable and many issues can cause the markers to show elevation.

Please let us know how you make out.
