Hi Chris @auntieoakley

That's very scary that your husband not only can't see an oncologist when he's still on meds, but really shocking there is such a long wait for a PCP visit. So who is managing your husband's oral chemo if not an oncologist?

The more I read about others, the luckier I feel that my surgical oncologist was still seeing me 7 years after my surgery when the cancer came back. Sometimes I feel like I have too many followups. So many different specialists for various conditions, the number of appointments can be draining.

Even though I see my oncologist regularly for the recurrent breast cancer, I still have semi-annual followups with the radiation oncologist 2.5 years after completion and annual visits with the PA at the breast surgeon oncology office 3 years post surgery. That's all just for the breast cancer. Is that because I have a PPO? Do those of you having trouble being seen have an HMO?
