Hi Kathy!
So glad you got in! I always make sure to set my next appointment while I am there for a 3 month follow up if needed as he is hard to get into.

I hope you like him as much as I do .. as far as I am concerned he just "walks on water"! At my age I've dealt with a lot of various doctors over the years .. without a doubt he has been the most caring, watchful and on the ball I've ever had. Of course as in all medicine you MUST be your own advocate .. EDUCATE yourself .. keep in mind that NO ONE knows your body as well as you do .. question until you are satisfied that you understand etc.

Hope your appointment goes well! If you are interested .. from various sources I put together a form to take to appointments to remind me of what questions to ask. If you are interested I could email it to you .. you could then adapt it to your own needs. Email me if you are interested .. I think you have my personal email.
Best regards,
Katherine (Kate is just my anonymous name!)

I would love the form of question to ask. Thank you.

Can you please email me the form your have. It would be appriciated or post here.

Hi Kate,
I was diagnosed 1 year ago with MAC. I am very interest in your form to take to appointments, I struggle with what to ask since this is all new to me. If you could share this with me I would be most appreciative. I would also be interested with what meds you are taking that are not making you ill. That is so good to hear. I have put off treatment from the horror stories I have heard about how sick the meds can make you feel. If you don't mind sharing, please email me. Thank you in advance for your time and help. Warm Regards. C
