What a nightmare this whole thing is! The problem I see is that you can vote with your feet and end up wearing out your shoes!!! I have changed Oncologists 3 times!!! I finally like the one I have but it is an effort somewhat akin to marriage. You have behavior you don't like and you must be careful not to nag or they will become even worse. You try your hardest not to loose it, because tears rarely enlist aid but tend to make them dismiss you. Jeepers its actually much worse than marriage! YOU SHOULD be able to talk to your radiation oncologist before just marching off to be fried! Especially with your concerns - if nothing else get your Surgeon to call him for you if you can't get a resonable response. They talk well together usually, and if one Doc is kind and listens to you - USE him. I am only a few months ahead of you in treatment, hopefully someone else has more experienced advice for you. It is such and ego game going on with Dr.'s, each new one I went to criticised the one before.... I am still waiting for Mr. Right but living with Mr. Ok if you know how to play him.... the NYTimes has a great article on this called "Modern Love, What Shamu taught me about a happy marrige- it is fantastic, really made me laugh hard, plus has some great ideas for relating to your husband. Not that it works on you Dr. but we can try!
