WaterSapphire, it sure sounds like you are in distress and have had some awful experiences with care - no wonder you're anxious. It must be hard to try to give your new pcp and other caregivers a clean slate given what has happened with you in the past; but that sounds like what they are asking of you (in disregarding the CT scans, I mean).
Do you take this leap of faith and let this new team try to start anew in your care, or do you let your past experiences color your present ones with caution? You've been traumatized by what has happened to you so far. Does your pcp understand the history, and is he sympathetic?
Trust is hard, if you feel you have not been given the proper care in the past. Having a frank discussion with your doctor about your concerns might go a long way to calm some of your worries.
take care
