Linda,

I love it, fire when ready. If Carol is starting chemo next month as you've posted then there has to be an MO. I didn't have my first appt with mine until shortly before I started chemo yet at that point she took over the duties of all meds and my overall health. I used my MO as my Primary Care Provider for over a year until I decided to find a local GP. My ENT still was the head of my cancer care...but left the drugs and drug interactions for my MO.

At this point I'd find out who is going to be her MO and get an appointment set with them as soon as you are able. From that point I'd cut out the GP altogether. The sweet thing about dealing with DR's is you get to decide who you work with.
