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?

Thank you @loribmt my new hemotologist/ oncologist practices at a holistic center. I was learly, because I was imagining a focus on alternative medicine, but it isn't at all. It simply means they provide me an entire care team to treat my whole person. I have a Dr, NP, RN, Care Coordinator, Mind/Body Counselor on-site pharmacy and medicinary that carries vitamins and an attached hospital. My Counselor helped me nearly as much as the HU! Being listened to, treated as a person, and having a treatment plan turned me around and helped accept the remaining symptoms/limitations.
