@californiazebra and others here-thank you so much for the replies, I wasn't sure I'd get any and yet it was so helpful to hear your experience. Your cardiologist sounds amazing! Guessing you are not in South Carolina?!
Thanks for asking-scan was supposed to be this morning but I had to cancel last night-I've had a bad cold all week and they said if it wasn't improved to cancel. Now it's scheduled for August! But I plan to keep calling and try to get sooner. I was finally (emotionally) ready!
Side note--anyone on metformin? I keep reading not to take before the angio with contrast but they aren't telling me not to. Anyway, I may just skip on my own to be safe.
My Endo is 2 hours away-in my old city, we moved away from last summer. He retires in a year and doesn't know of anyone in my new city.
I think once I get the scan behind me I will take time to find a new cardiologist. I don't expect to have any urgent need yet and now that I know they do exist, it's worth waiting for a good (or at least better) one. 🙂
