Thanks Angel,

This is good to know since I'm sure I will need some follow up labs.

Now all I need is a different car since I would likely become ill and

also have to throw out all my clothes if I went in mine. Still more

workable than sitting in the waiting room, becoming ill and having to

throw out my clothes and mask afterward anyway. - Sigh Again Is my

attitude slipping a little?

Bobby,

First of all I would turn that dr. into his superiors. How dare he talk to

you like that.

I hve quest labs do my PCR tests but that is because thats who Kaiser uses.

So I can't help you there but I sure would like to help you in the other

department!!! How dare he talk to you like that!!! I would not stand for

that.

Aloha Sharon

Hi, I keep reading several of you refer to Quest Labs. Is this a chain,

across the country? I checked it out in our directory and came up with

Quest Diagnostics, is this the same one? If I have an order from my dr. can

I go there for labs instead of going to a hospital? If so that would be

great, I have been dying to get rid of my onc. since I started with him, he

is a real jerk. I asked him a question one time, and he said, why don't you

ask Dr. Talpaz, he's the expert isn't he? Another time he asked me why I

had to visit him if I had Dr. Talpaz, he didn't seem to realize i needed an

onc while I was in that trial. But I don't need one in the XL228 trial, so

I don't need him and his snotty attitude, that is, if I can go to this Quest

and get labs. Bobby

Hi Bobby,

I had a doctor like that once too. Very early on when I was first

diagnosed and didn't know a white cell from a red cell, I asked him

what the difference was between a FISH test and a cytogenetic test.

His answer, with a very snotty tone, was " you don't need to know

that " . Boy was I glad to get rid of him!
