Deciding To Change Your Doctor?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pottstown, PA

I have been struggling about changing my doctor (oncologist) for months now. He is a good doctor, staying on top of everything but he’s kinda mean. And he doesn’t like to answer questions. After a year with him I still don’t know where my numerous rib fracture are or where my 30 lesions are. He showed me one scan with 5 lit spots on my back.

Hi Sharon,
Check with HealthTree or the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation for a MM Specialist near you. Good luck. 🙏

Yes @A MyMyelomaTeam Member, all this searching and comparing, for Medicare plans, doctors, what not, can make you sick! It's often stressful! I pray you find the best fit for you!🤗❤️

Thank you. My pcp told me that the doc I had gone to for a second opinion belonged to a very good group. He was just someone I chose by chance while searching. He had quite a bit of MM patients. It’s as scary as trying to find a Medicare plan for you. Glad my doc gave 2 thumbs up. Gonna check the site you gave me now.
