Reply #9: Update: I got a second opinion

[flamingyouth]

I met an awesome oncologist on Wednesday. I think the bottom line was that I just didn't like my urologist. I kept having horrible pain and other problems and he didn't care. I was also anemic and he didn't care. Basically... he didn't care (he should put that on his business card: "I Don't Care About You!"). He answered all of my questions, is referring me to a new urologist friend of his, and we really liked and trusted him.

I think my surgeon did a good job, and the oncologist ultimately backed up his opinion, but I just couldn't deal with the guy treating me like I didn't matter. So it was a real breath of fresh air to meet this new doctor on Wednesday and get along with him so well. I follow up with him next month. :)
