My doctor of almost 10 years dismissed me after I told him I would rather have my oncologist of eight years continue with my breast exams.

You do not have a case for medical malpractice. When you indicated that you wanted your oncologist to continue with the breast exam, your doctor probably took this as a sign that you did not trust his judgment. If this is the case, then he does not need to treat you.Your doctor has a right to decide who he wants to treat.
