I, honestly, found the appointment I had to mostly be a waste of my time. The person couldn't answer the questions I really needed answering. In many ways, I'm learning that the GP (PCP) is the doc that is in the best position to keep everything together and understand the implications of complex things. I have more than cancer, and my specialists, including my cancer specialists, tend to only focus on the acute areas - or the areas that they specialist in - where my PCP looks at the whole me, in a way that my onc team doesn't. It took me a while to realize that I was asking too much of my onc team when I expected them to appreciate long-term care (other than cancer specific care) ... and that my PCP is just in a better place to bring it all together.
