thanks margret.
I went and got a second opinion or review at mass general,
After not getting a first opinion in 6 weeks from rhode island
i called mass general on a monday and on friday a team of doctors met and went thru me. They called and talked to my medical onc and told me he is a smart guy and his treatment is one they will probibly be switching to in the near future.
Anyway i told them i didnt like my doctors in rhode island but they told me they cant treat me because of my blue cross medicaid being from rhode island.
Ive got 4 more weeks of chemo then 2 weeks rest then 8 weeks of radiation and chemo then 4 weeks rest before surgery.
So ive got about 4 months before surgery .
I am preety much committed to the induction chemo and radiation chemo shedual i am on now but i dont like my surgical onc i can read people fairly well and i can tell this guy is the type that everything he has to do is a hassle and he could care less.
he is just the miserable type.
My mother lives in seekonk mass just over the border from me
switching states now could be a hassle and dont even know the rules of being covered in mass.
You know how you can tell by tone of voice and body language and looking in someones eyes well i can just tell this guy isnt putting the slightest bit of effort into anything hes 52 and hes burnt out and going thru the motions.
Maybe hes got good hands and is a good surgeon,
But i can tell i think a good way to describe it would be
the Labored sound of his voice and facial expressions when he is having to deal with anything.
The several doctors i met with at mass general all seemed interested in what they were doing and my piticular case i could see the wheels turning and hear it in their voices.
Down here my my burnt out surgical onc and my med onc and his nurse practioner i can tell they are just miserible what time is it , get me out of here, ok whatever, next, types.
Actually i think my med onc is a smart guy he is probibly just too busy . My surgical onc is just burnt out and going thru the motions thou.

You know i never read my posts before i submit them because i never would submit them if i did,
So thanks to everyone who puts up with my ramblings
