I did merry but I am beginning
To regret that decision. I changed to dealing with drs here and I just don’t feel right about what they say. My biggest fear is that they will miss sometthing and then it will be too late. Do you go to mayo at Rochester. Maybe sometime we can schedule at the same time. Right now I’m waiting to hear for appt with pulmonologist in February Keep the faith and the power

@sakota- I am on the east coast and go to MGH. One big fear with cancers is that "doctors wont get it all". I think that this is a legitimate fear. Legitimate because it sometimes happens. Sometimes doctors can't remove the entire cancer. Sometimes radiologists miss a tumor altogether. This happened to me.
With this, we have to deal/work with what we get. It's not perfect, it's not ideal, but all we have are humans to make decisions and act.
