Seeking advice: MGUS and osteoporosis with severe bone pain?
Blood Cancers & Disorders | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (19)Comment receiving replies
The oncologist I see regularly starting 2020 is reluctant to offer any advice on other issues - say arthritis pain, or neurothapy - it doesn't have anything to do with your sciatica. He just wants to get my blood counts within normal limits so I won't have to get infusions.

@jwbs, normally non-cancer related symptoms are not managed by oncology. If your symptoms, like neuropathy perhaps, are cancer treatment related, you could ask to meet with a symptom-management oncology nurse or palliative care nurse.
Does your cancer care coordinate with your PCP and vice versa? Do you see a rheumatologist for arthritis pain?
