Continuing Care Between Mayo & Local Providers for MM

@analisag, if this were me (or on behalf of my mom), I would want to hear from the prescribing doctor before discontinuing chemotherapy treatment. It sounds like you are concerned that the nurse responded without consulting the doctor.
Are you or your mother able to communicate with the team directly in the patient portal?

@colleenyoung thanks so much for your response. The communication is taking place in the Mayo patient portal. The nurse is (seemingly) not passing along the concerns to the doctor, but simply responded with how she understands they often do things.
I can recommend that she confirm stopping the meds is ok by her local hematologist, but he’s not an MM expert, which is why I’m eager for the Mayo specialist to advise on this.
