My sister went with me to the “new doctor,” Dr. T, and sorry to say, we weren’t all that impressed, but agreed he’s better than Dr. D. What we mean by “better” is that he’s just not as rude. It’s too bad, but when you have Multiple Myeloma, you just don’t have that many options. This [...]

The good news is that I am able to go to the new doctor, as he accepts my insurance and he’s accepting new patients. I see him next Monday at 1:40pm. His office is so much closer and in a nice area, so that will be just great. I hope he turns out to be [...]

You may recall I’d addressed Dr. D, my oncologist a while ago. I didn’t like her. We just don’t communicate very well.

I’ve been waiting to have some kind of definitive answer as to what is going on with me before writing here. Then, I’ve either been busy or too tired to blog. But here I am, willing to give some sort of update.
