I spent 6 months being told I had lymphoma and cancer with no treatment plan or follow up with my first hemotologist. My family doctor, who is a NP, said this doesn't make any sense and recommended a second opinion. I have to drive 30 minutes longer, but it was like emerging from the dark ages to modern medicine. Go with your gut and get that second opinion. It completely changed my quality of life.

Welcome to Connect, @deanbears. Kudos to your NP for nudging you to seek a second opinion. And to you for following your ‘gut feeling’ that something wasn’t right with the lack of plan or followup after being told you have lymphoma!
I’d love to hear more of your story. How has switch in doctors completely changed your quality of life? Has this happened since you started HU? Were there other changes that your new hematologist suggested that has helped your symptoms too?
