Re: Just curious

I'm in France but...
Same chemo oncologist for every treatment over the 6 years and she's still there. Always saw my overall treatment protocol oncologist whenever I wanted and made an appt. to see him. I changed radiologists (my choice) and then only ever saw him, he was always there when I went through radiation and could slip in and see him if I had a question.
Seems very odd that you keep getting different oncologists. It is very important to have the same one because he/she knows your history and you and also because you need to feel comfortable enough with him/her to ask questions and talk about your treatement.
I could understand in a large hospital that during chemo the oncologists on call on the floor might change but not your leading oncologist.
Is this something to do with the hospital? Definitely speak to someone and tell them you are very uncomfortable with this. You should chose the oncologist you want, not just the one on call.
Sorry you're going through this when you're having your treatment.
take care,
health and happiness
Sarah
