Hi Poeticlady, I've had the same oncologist since March 2014, then suddenly had an appointment come for a different oncologist for my next assessment in June. I rang my specialist nurse and told her I was not feeling confident about seeing someone else, she looked into it and it was because mine was on holiday, but she managed to get it changed to the week before with my usual one, hope this helps, Trudy xx

Thanks for your reply NannyT ,my first appointment was on the 8th April,then I was sent for ultra sound then next appointment was on the 28th April but was sent for ct scan on 3rd May,then got sent for a MRI scan last Wednesday,so I have only met my oncologist twice,before.although this new one tomorrow is nearer home.x

Although I am listed under one oncologist, in the cancer centre I attend, there are 3 who look after the ladies with ovarian cancer and I could be seen by any one of them. I really don't mind this at all as they are all really nice and it means if one is off on holiday etc, then seeing one of the others is not a problem for us. Good luck for tomorrow. Ann xo
