@jerrysgirl3 Oh, my gosh, I tall sounds just terrible! You must have a comprehensive medical center somewhere near you! Do you? There is also Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Fl. I know you could be away from home but…. You can always call and ask if they have a Mayo-trained doctor in your area. May I ask what state you live in?
As for nutritionists versus dietitians: you want a dietitian. We just had a class on the difference which is education and on-the-job training. Very important.
I just don’t know what I can say to help you. You’ve got to find a competent, caring doctor.
Have you checked with the American Cancer Society?

@becsbuddy Yes. The calls I've been making have been to RD's just by happenstance lol. I didn't realize what it meant until yesterday. I live in NY State on eastern Long Island. The few good doctors we have (I can count on one hand) are totally swamped and overwhelmed and are into March 2024 with their appts!! People can't afford to live out here-even doctors. Not like this when I moved out here 37 years ago. We have NYU Langone and NY Presbyterian centers however they just gobbled up regular doctors out here. They are not trained NYU Langone doctors! They're the same crummy doctors whether they're with the facility or not. The facility name does NOT make the doctor 😳. I will not set foot in FL nowadays, even if it would save my life! Calling for a Mayo trained doctor is a good idea. Thank you!
