Medical oncologist

Are you able to change to another Oncologist even if it is in the same building/rooms?  I had an in Incident where my Oncologist was having a bad day.

 I arrived at my GP’s who was very concerned about a letter she received from my Onco, apparently I was extremely anxious about everything.  My ocologist wrote that I was worried about uterus and cervical cancer, very strange as they have all been removed.  Also went into a rant about me wanting to be on Arimidex for 10 years, this was at my 12month check-up, news to me, my question to her was what was the plan because on two previous occasions she had told me - 2 years on Arimidex and then 3 on Tamoxifen, and the next time it was 5 on Arimidex.  I was just after  a simple clarification. This letter went on and on, turning me into a bit of a nut case.  Lucky my husband was with me to confirm that this was not the same consultation that we had both been at, Oncologist was on a different planet.

Anyway my breast surgeon wrote me out a referral for the other Oncologist in the same rooms, I then had appointment with him and I now feel  more comfortable, he apologised for his business partners unprofessional letter. 

I live in a town small enough to hear the local news.  1st Oncologist caught her husband with another, so yep she was having a bad day., but not my problem...

They are not GOD, they make mistakes, I was not willing to hang around and pay $140 for a 5 min consult to make me feel uncomfortable.   If it is too stressful move on, it has worked for me. 

Sending you a big hug as I truely know how you feel.
