Normally the doctor is great. This time I felt he was distant. Told me no more scans, tests, but no explanation of that. I wanted to ask more questions but I felt self conscious about it this time. I can't put my finger on it really. I think he thinks I don't want other treatment because I was afraid to take Ibrannce because of another medical condition I have. And since then he has seemed distant. But I'm not a good communicator myself at the doctor's office. I should have asked more questions.

My oncologist, Dr. Vaklavas, is truly one in a million. He and his staff have literally been at my side throughout my cancer diagnosis and all of the hideous treatments. He has been unfailingly kind and empathetic, and has shown a degree of humility seldom seen in physicians of his caliber. He always answers my questions in a way that I can understand, he takes my concerns into consideration, he has been patient and caring to me and my husband throughout my ordeal. If this had to happen to me, thank God that I had Dr. Vaklavas and his amazing staff to rely on as we navigated through my cancer treatments. They are part of what has turned Huntsman Cancer Hospital into a world class facility.

I'm just upset that suddenly he was being paged or something and I felt rushed. I've been I such bad pain in my chest area as of the last 4 weeks and here I am being ignored again. Old CT scans don't show new anything. I need a nerve abalation on my ribs near my heart. the pain is getting worse. he kept getting calls and pages and I am wondering if a patient was having an all out emergancy because that usually never ever happens. I just get upset because I have to take so much time and effort get to these appointments and I feel cheated when I can't atleast have time to show my serious concerns . I just don't feel like they matter and that hurts my feelings very much. I get that people are paying and calling but o was rushed out of the office after that. also, the new people in the front registration area are rude and incompetent. Alwats goes to voicemail where as before that rarely Happened.
