    Good Luck
    Lizzie,

    Congrats on getting a new oncologist! Good luck meeting him/her. I wish you all the best. Keep us posted with an update once you go. You deserve the best care, remember you are your own advocate. Don't let that MD at the end of their name intimidate you!

    BEST of luck
    Share away Lizzie and let us know how your appointment
    with your new oncologist went. It is so important that
    you find one you trust. In our battles for our lives we
    need a good team to guide and support us. Keep that in
    mind today and if you are not confident that this is the
    right match for you, keep looking. I switched mine and
    was glad I did.

    Hugs,
    Ayse

    a good day!!
    I really like my new oncologist---- he is at the Cancer Center. I feel connected to the center already and am able to utilize their other services: group therapies, massages, yoga, nutrition, etc.

    Earlier in the day I did get my stent out, so I am thankful for that. A couple of follow-up tests to make sure everything is working and no longer dilated.

    Funny how days like this are exhausting!!!!

    Keep us posted
    Lizzie,

    I agree with them do not let MD on the back of a doctors name intimadate you. Keep your chin up and your voice loud. Do not allow anyone to tell you what you have to do if you do not feel comfortable with it.

    Will be thinking of you,

    Andrea
