Glad to hear that you have decided to change doctors. Doesn't sound like you had a good match. Doesn't mean the doctor is not an expert, just poor communication. My sister is being treated for esophageal cancer and the fellow in the oncology clinic that she was assigned to just didn't seem to get why she didn't want to come in and have a port placed, discuss treatment and give the first chemo treatment. I did some coaching with her and advised that she just put her foot down and insist on a discussion of treatment first. Fortunately, she had already been to Cleveland Clinic and got a second opinion. The treatment plans were in agreement. The fellow seems shocked that my sister would go somewhere else for a second opinion. My sister felt there were lots of discussions going on at the great and mighty University of Michigan but she was being left out of the conversation. I believe that she is much better able to understand her treatment and make informed decisions because she did respond to my advocacy efforts and seek out a second opinion.
