Feeling overwhelmed, depressed, hard time figuring out next steps

Trusting your team/s is key in treatment and recovery! Maybe a second opinion of your not comfortable with current team.
My two main Dr's oncologist and Transplant Dr will answer any/all questions I have and do not push me into anything. When my transplant got postponed and started a new weekly treatment all was discussed on why we are going this direction. I'm luck to live 30 minutes from the hospital/Cancer Center. Be your own advocate- social workers can help a lot. Hugs to you!

Thank you. You’re really actually reminded me of the other thing that happened at the cancer center. I was really uncomfortable with my doctors dismissive manner. They have a group of several doctors to choose from. I called and asked to switch doctors. They said I need to tell them why and that I have to start some sort of form for them to review. I explained that I was uncomfortable with the doctor. They told me that he was going to review it and decide what I get to do. Then after waiting a long time with no treatment he said that I cannot go there. He wants me to go to the next cancer center over an hour away. I was upset hearing this because I would have to drive in the snow while feeling sick and can’t walk. So the receptionist told me I could contest it. After I contested it they finally gave me another doctor. It was a long process and I didn’t get treatment during that time.
