It’s true. Emotional health isn’t addressed at all. My cancer issues are compounded by the fact that I am being required to travel 3 hrs away at times for Dermatology appointments. I just had to cancel one today because I just couldn’t make it and it was probably a fairly important appointment. A full body skin examination. Could I find a Dermatologist closer? Maybe but that is compounded by them taking too long to get me to be seen. One office put me off 2 months even after I was referred by an Oncologist. After that I didn’t trust that Dermatology office to provide me with the best care. We are trying to move to another part of the country where we are more familiar with and who has more of a heart for their residents medically.

I hope you can find a person to meet your needs soon and timely.
I hear the stress you feel and know how that can multiply quickly. I am hopeful that you will feel better about those serving you soon. Take care of you ❤️

If you move to an area that has Mayo Clinics you will have outstanding service.

I have found when I have a suspicious area they make what they call an acute visit appointment which has priority.
Good luck. I hear horror stories about the wait for dermatologists appts.

I see a P.A. who is outstanding.
