Hi Chelee,
I'm Stage I and I get a thorough exam from my med onc every three months.
When I have had any question or rash or whatever, he will come see me in the infusion room to chat or check me out in a room. One time he was eating lunch and came out of his office with a sandwich in one hand and he palpated my abdomen with the other.
I think all docs are not created equal and yours might just be one of those detached types. It does not mean your doc is not good at what he/she does, just lacks the warmth we need to feel like we are people and numbers. I would however begin to show the inner b---- that you may have inside and have your neck checked right away. And also ask if you can be checked more often. I can't imagine them turning you down for an appt.
I'm sure it will all work out... keep being your own advocate and insist on better treatment. Its your life!
Maria
