Trepidation= Butterflies in my Stomach

It has been one weekend, and I have been able to schedule my PET, and now I am waiting on my Oncology Nurse to call back- left 2 messages regarding different issues, and no word from her.
I haven't had a great experience with her so far. She will promise to call with blood test results, and then not call. I call and leave a message. She calls back eventually. She tries to read the test results. I ask what normal is for any given marker, she doesn't know the answer. I goolge it faster than she explains why she doesn't know and that she will try to ask the Dr. between appointments and call me back. HA, heard that before.
Anyway, I am anxious. If I could get all these tests done today and find out what is up, I would do it.
I am soon going to be in the market for a new Oncologist. I need someone who is very bright with a compitent staff, but they have to be very compassionate. I am a smart gal, I do my homework, so you better know the answers to the basic questions I ask. I expect you to shoot straight with me. Don't let me down easy. And we better really care about each other, because my life, and thus the life of my children, is in your hands.
Got suggestions for a brilliant Oncologist in North Dallas? LMK!

Mikkel,
I have a referral for you that came from Diane. I have the contact info. She knows him personally and he works strictly with breast cancer patients. I'll get it to you as soon as I get back to work, or give me a call and I'll tell you where you can get it. Love ya!
