Hi @sheridan2026 ,
I am so sorry you are going through all that! I totally relate to your desire to change doctors. I just went through that experience myself. I do not have acute leukemia but do have a suspected MPN. I thought seeing a MPN specialist for a consultation would be a good idea for me to do as prior I have only seen oncologist/hematologist who sent me to a bone marrow transplant specialist who said I definitely do not need a bone marrow transplant now and may never need one. I thought seeing a MPN specialist would be helpful, but I was very wrong! It was obvious the MPN specialist had not read my chart before seeing me. She was giving me mutations, conditions, and symptoms that I do not have and have never had! Honestly, I will not be seeing her again. I called my insurance to let them know what happened and I was told I can be referred elsewhere fortunately. I am not in treatment now and take only low dose aspirin for high platelets. I am very healthy in my opinion with no aches or pains and plan to keep it that way. I do not need a doctor who is not helping me.
I hope you are able to have another specialist review and consult about your treatment to make sure that the doctor you are having issues with is acting prudently. I hope you do not need to go out of state again to find decent care. We, as patients, definitely do not need doctors who are giving us stress and not helping us!
Stay strong and positive!

@sheridan2026 Wow what an amazing story. So glad to hear you went out of state. I will be starting my chemo in a couple weeks hoping for remission.
