Rosy - you have gotten such great advice above. I just want to put my 2 cents worth in about busy doctors: I had some surgery last year unrelated to cancer but surgery which required the attention of two very busy doctors and some robotic surgery. When I saw how busy especially one of them was with a waiting room filled to capacity, I decided the only way I was going to get all my questions answered was to type out all the questions I had. With one doctor, I sent a FAX to his office in the evening and the next morning I got a personal call from him. He answered every one of my questions and told me he wished all his patients could do the same. The second doctor was also sent a FAX in which I also suggested I would be happy to receive a reply from the secretary or anyone in the office. The next day I received a reply from his secretary that answered all my questions. With each of the doctors, whenever I had an appointment, I carried two copies with me of all my questions with spaces in between the questions so that I could give them one copy and follow along on my copy, writing down his answers. The first doctor just took a pen and wrote down what he was telling me on his copy and gave that back to me! Rosy - Your health is very important and you deserve to get ALL your questions answered. Make copies of all your questions for each and every doctor so they all know where you are coming from. Keep pushing for answers and let us know what's happening.
