I went to the scheduled appointment in my town and although it was awkward, told them I was deferring to Dr. B. (He recommended 2 low-dose aspirins instead of Hydroxyurea-and also paid a lot more attention to detail!) Dr. B. had suggested blood work every 3 mos. at his clinic, and every 3 months in the hometown clinic. I asked Dr. A. if she was alright with this approach and she said she was. So that’s what I’m doing now… but I, myself still feel awkward.
I don’t feel the actual need to involve the hometown clinic.
I could easily get labs done at an unaffiliated lab and have them sent to Dr. B. in the nearby city. But, part of me worries that at some point, I may need a closer resource, even though I don’t think that’s in the near future.
So, I’m still sort of wondering what to do..
And thanks for your inquiry. 😊

I am a 30 year myeloma survivor, in remission the last 10 years. I see both an in town oncologist and an out of town myeloma specialist, less frequently. Others do the same. It’s more practical to get routine things done at home, and they are fine collaborating when needed. More is in my book, profits go to Mayo and other charities.
