I appreciate your ideas but have tried them already . I had my son & DIL , who both have MPH and also years of working in medical fields , and they are very frustrated now too . Having no clear treatment plan , and constant missteps and mistakes , are why I have now switched , new drs next week, fingers crossed I'll get some guidanceand real medical care . I was def trying to get away , as stated above , assigned medicare insur traps me for now. So beyond these suggestions, I am constantly being told to book my own appts , and guess when I need the next thoracentesis , etc . Filing a complaint gets you a form letter with a form apology , but no real change or accountability so far.

I have also added more B12 to my diet and vitamins , so I can hopefully get continous treatment now on Ibrance w the faslodex shots . Inconsistency surely doesn't help . Starting 3rd cycle today , 100 mg pills .

If you're open to a supplementary insurance plan, you can enlist in that at any time and not wait for an open-enrollment window. AARP offers United Heathcare for example for people on Medicare. The caveat is that it might be harder to enlist if one is currently under care for cancer but I have a friend who was able to switch, while in cancer treatment, because she wanted to go to any doctor, anywhere, and not deal with PPO or HMO stuff.
