          Two weeks ago, I had an appointment at angeles clinic. I was told by nurse, receptions, & doctor that he had gone & not returning.

          I wish that he would return.

          Did you hear that Dr. O'day would return from a "realible" source? Who gave you the info?

                            I would say he is definitely NOT returning.  When I was there 2 weeks ago, they gave me a new study consent form to sign.  On it, Dr. O'Day was replaced by Dr. Hamid as the Study Doctor.

                            Best wishes,

                            Harry

                                    So far so good.  Next week I will have the 3rd set of scans since entering the trial.  The last set showed some disappearance/shrinkage and some stable lesions (those were bone mets which can show even if they are no longer active).

                                    Dr. Hamid is pleasant enough.  I did join the trial largely on the recommendation of Dr. O'Day, who I met 10 years ago.  I wish he was still there, but my treatment now is basically following the study protocol, so it really doesn't matter who my study doctor is.

                                    Best regards,

                                        Not coming back, see Hamid. So what if his bedside manner is not as good, he know his stuff….

                                                  I am currently a patient of Dr.Hamid. Before becoming his patient, I sent him an email & he responded. Then, after becoming his patient, I have sent him emails & he does not respond. It makes you feel like Dr. Hamid  does not care….you are just a number in his clinical trial.  I feel that I do not matter in his busy day now that he has replaced Dr. O'Day and Dr. Hamid is running Angeles Clinic.

                                                    I feel the same way, he doesn't seem to care much, just a number in his trial. It is a shame.  I'd love to see the tables turned for doctors to see what it feels like to be fighting melanoma and not have a caring oncologist.

                                                                    Two weeks ago, I had an appointment at angeles clinic. I was told by nurse, receptions, & doctor that he had gone & not returning.

                                                                    I wish that he would return.

                                                                    Did you hear that Dr. O'day would return from a "realible" source? Who gave you the info?
