I am a private patient. For the first two years I see the BS once every six months, and the oncologist once every six months, alternating. So I see someone once every three months, then it drops to once yearly for each, alternating again.
I changed oncologists, though it was because mine left private practice. It was a change I was happy with as, as pleasant as she was, I didn't really gel with her.
When you see your BS next, just say that. 'I don't really gel with the oncologist, can you refer me to someone else' It should be as simple as that.
If you feel uncomfortable doing it face to face you could always try an email. K xox
