I have Langerhans cell histiocytosis of bone

I have Langerhans cell histiocytosis of bone

I had a tumor removed from my left frontal lobe in the bone. None of my doctors know anything about my disease nor do they care enough to find out. So in looking at the MRI from four weeks before my surgery I found that there was also a single FLAIR hyperintense focus present at the left basal ganglia. Also I have a swelling over my mastoid which is an indicator that I have a lesion or growth on my temporal bone. My problem is that my doctors have completely ignored and dismissed my questions about these things. I think the problem is that they dont want to admit that they dont know or they just dont care enough to put the effort into finding out. I dont want to wait until these things have gotten so bad that I have to under go brain surgery again and have part of my dura removed. How can I find a doctor who gives a damn about me?
