Becky!
Dear Becky,
I just read your post, didn't read the answers, but here's mine: get outta' there! There are so many really good physicians out there, don't spend another iota of a second with this guy. Get the best out there, cutting edge - start over - this is life threatening stuff as we all know - and get your Mom out of there, too. I am really big on making sure I am COMPLETELY comfortable and confident in my medical choices, especially now that I have access to the best via internet information. The fact that you are almost apologetic in the start of your post tells me you know this isn't right, and I am here to push you out that door!
Keep us posted?!?
Love, Donna
