health. Cancer is such an ugly word.

I advise you to not do this yourself.

About half of the time that i did this the staff looked at me funny and asked questions which are none of their official business.


Good luck

or Dr. Y.

Y has the best bedside manner and is generally competent. X has the personality of a porcupine but is exceptionally competent. We went with X.


Present day, basically useless cardiologist. I was going to transfer out, then he got a nurse practitioner who listens. I will stay until she leaves.

I was first diagnosed with lymphoma since the early 1990s.

First treatment, I received a remission of 13 years.
Second treatment, I received a remission of 15 years.

This last time around since the last 2 years, have not achieved 100% success.
I tried about 3 separate treatments, not counting radiation.
During one of the sessions to decide treatment, he gave me option A and option B.
I went with option A because of the logistics to do option B.
Option A did not achieve 100%.
His response was 'I told you to do option B'
At the time, I diffused the situation by saying 'Placing blames solves nothing right now'

Later, he gave me a different option A and option B.
At the time, my walking had destabilized that I had to use a walker.
I asked him to begin the authorization process of both options.
It appears that they only got authorization process for one.
I called my insurer and they told me they never received any authorization request for option B.
In a way, I was felt, being pushed into doing option A, which was still a failure.
I was still unable to walk with option A.
Months later, they finally got authorization for option B.
Now, i can walk again but am still not 100%.
