Has to be a little concerning changing in mid stream but good to see you are in good spirits with the change. I'm happy for you the first visit went good. I guess you really don't have a choice in the matter and of course it is good you are being positive about this. I'm trying my best here to say I wish you the best on this.

Yes, no choice when a doctor retires, but I'm glad the transition was seamless, and I feel positive about it.

Also, I'm not too worried about changing mid-stream. I'm stable — in full "remission", according to my last oncologist, though obviously it's drug-assisted — so this may turn out to be more of a marathon (or relay-race??) than a sprint. The new oncologist even told me my numbers are good enough that he wouldn't bother having me tested so often (every 3 months) if I weren't in the IRONMAN study.
