Well, one of the things that my hematologist/oncologist says to me every time I see him is that there have been so many gains in treatment for multiple myeloma and it is now much more treatable than it was 5-10 years ago. That’s reassuring to me. I do hope you’ll encourage your PCP to make a referral to someone who has lots of experience with multiple myeloma in the hematology/oncology specialty area. It’s like with a colonoscopy… I want somebody that has done five a day rather than five a year to be messing around in my colon!
Seriously though, it’s a very specialized area and most PCPs willingly pass us on to someone with more experience.
