I had a bittersweet meeting with Dr. Prystas on Friday. She wasn't overly concerned about the blood clot because I started the blood thinner so everything will be fine. I heard a couple of weeks ago that she was retiring, so this was my last meeting with her. I didn't go into the appointment feeling overly nostalgic, my mind has been so wrapped up in the blood clot! She did the normal exam, then helped me sit up. We both got a little teary and I thanked her for doing so much for everything she had done for me over the years. It's been 10 years since I was first diagnosed. I knew that picking an oncologist would be the most important thing I could do. She was the 4th oncologist I met with and "interviewed." I knew I had found the right one.
It was Dr. Buys who told me about Dr. Prystas' retirement. She's the oncologist over the Metastatic breast cancer support group I go to every month. I knew immediately who I wanted to replace Dr. Prystas! A couple years ago Forbes Magazine named Dr. Buys as one of the top 25 physicians in the country. From our interactions in our group, the compassion she shows to everyone in the group, whether or not we are her patients, ... She is amazing! I couldn't be in better hands.
