Taking a Lower Dose of Tamoxifen?

What kind of insurance do you have? My husband with Parkinson's was able to switch to a specialist when we found his neurologist to be a hateful man who enjoyed making my husband feel worthless and me cry. Just keep pushing for what you want. An example of not knowing one has to keep at it, my brother is autistic. I went with him to SSI to get disability for him. We were turned down. Years later through a support organization i learned they almost always turn down an applicant the first time, so I went back to fight for him again. This time he got it and he got a check for $30,000 back to the first time he applied.

@raebaby good for you! Unfortunately we do have to advocate for ourselves. It took me over a month just to change oncologists. They never returned my calls letting me know they f things were ok and I could get an appointment w/ the other oncologist. I ended up having to call the patient advocate person snd then all fell into place. It is a shame we have to do that. I wonder if the doctors actually KNOW what is going on. Took me over a month to finally have the new oncologist’s office call me to make an appointment. Just keep fighting for what we need/want. Stay strong!
