Guest helene Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I don't have an ononcolgist because with surgery my cancer was contained. Had no mat. to lymph nodes or to other organs in the body. My problem is my doctor. She seems un-interested in my case and has canceled my appt. three times . I am a transplant from another town and had my surgery in NYC and this pulmonary doctor was recommended to me by a doctor in NYC. She seems like a cold fish and I'm wondering if I need other help: 1- Do I need an onoccolgist 2- Should I change doctors. She whips out her pad and asks what meds I need. Shouldn't she be telling me. This probably sounds like complaining and after reading what some of you are going through I should be thankful for my reasonable health Any thoughts on this , Bless you all helene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Helene, I would think having an oncologist would be helpful. I don't have good vibes about your current doctor -- I would tend to look elsewhere. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay A. Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Helene, If you have been diagnosed with Lung Cancer you need an Oncologist. Period. And preferably one who specializes in Lung Cancer. Find yourself another Pulmonologist, and please do so right away. Find yourself an Oncolgist who specializes in Lung cancer right away, too. You aren't dealing with Military Medicine, are you? wishing you well, Fay A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
