Changing Doctors for Followup: Who do I see?

Because you are a few years out it gets harder and harder to get in to an oncologist. That being said, a surgeon friend said most breast cancer referrals come by way of OB/GYN so if it were me, I would start there.
This also gives you the option of asking for a different oncologist, should you need one.
Do you live near a cancer center or teaching university where there might be multiple onco doctors to choose from?

Thank you that’s what I was thinking today, that I should probably call the GYN doctor and make an appointment. Having no luck with oncologists. I live in a far rural area so everything is a drive. But I think I’ll ask recommendations and referrals from the OB/GYN doctor.

Really....If you are a few years out it can get harder and harder to get to an oncologist. That is very frightening.
