Actually Diane I'm still swimming upstream and have just been abandoned by my gyn oncologist. He states that he is limiting his practice to patients with active (gyn) cancer at this point. I reminded his office manager of my long history, 22 years, with HPV and that with this new invasive anal cancer and the vaginal walls being so close in proximity AND having vaginal and cervical pain I believed it is a top priority to get a colpo. I practically begged him to continue to see me. Instead I was blown off to an obgyn group and not one of them is a gyn oncologist. A lot of good THAT is going to do me. I was informed of this abandonment via a RECEPTIONIST and never even received anything in writing stating he was downsizing his practice, giving me some time to still be able to see him (I think 3 months is reasonable) and to provide names of other gyn oncologists until I pursued the issue. Funny how this happened only one day after I called to ask them to "accept insurance" and write off my copay given my current financial situation. Utterly disgrceful!
