@hello1234, Being proactive about our care, is so important after our transplant when we move back home, and away from our Mayo base of care. I am grinning with delight to read that you took the advice and encouragement given in this discussion posted by @athenalee, and that you spoke with your transplant nurse who responded favorably to your request for a referral to an endocrinologist.

There are many of us, who like to shy away from making requests of our medical teams. Perhaps we don't want to be a bother, or feel that they are just too busy, or that we are simply not accustomed to doing that. Now that you have reached out of your comfort zone, how does it make you feel? How did you bring up the request when you were uncertain? What would you say to someone who is hesitant to reach out?
