Chelee, your story makes me think I would go out of network and try to get a reporter to do a story on it. You are where you are, I don't think there's any evidence that waiting a few weeks changes things. I just know there are times you get PO'd. Your docs are probably not going to kill you, but they certainly don't sound like advocates. (sp)
On the other hand, I don't know that your treatment would be any different if you go elsewhere, they just might be nicer. Same sh++, different location.
As I would want my treatment done in a timely fashion, I would continue on your course, but email your local paper and see if they might be interested in your story. I think the docs want to do right, but the system is screwed up.
Somehow I think they think they're doing the right thing, but from what you said it's marginal and full of pain. Keep at it, you want the very best. Sometimes, it's just too much for patients to deal with.
So if it's a matter of rudeness , let it go. I think your docs have been rude. The most important thing is to get rid of the cancer crap, and only time will tell. So you have my permission to be the most obnoxious patient . But... your'e doing the right stuff. Good luck. BB
