Off to the doctor

Today I had an appointment with the oncologist. Just a week ago the treatment I needed was chemo and a stem cell transplant. Having the new diagnosis changes all that. This doctor called a doctor at Boston University who said that the optimal treatment for my condition is a liver/kidney transplant. The protein that is gumming up my kidneys is produced in the liver. My liver is working just great, except producing some of this abnormal protein. So I don't need an oncologist any more. In fact I'm pretty clueless about what kind of doctor I need. I have lots of questions, but darn few answers.
