Vickie, It would be nice to actually have an onc & surgeon that treated me with a little respect and compassion. (Like they really cared about me.) I haven't had that since I started here. When I read your words you wrote to me the tears ran down my face. This onc has made me feel like a piece of toilet paper on the bottom of her shoe. NOT once has she made me feel like she cared about me or my out come. She acts like she is afraid to touch me like she might catch something. Its just cruel how they have done me. Dealing with a bc DX as you all know is more then enough for any of us.

I just have to believe at this point that your right & this is the good Lords way of sending me a much needed intervention. I have learned through my life some of the worse things turn out for the best. I am so angry at this place I will not rest until they get put in their place for doing this to me. I want to make sure they NEVER do this to another cancer patient again that walks through their doors. Its beyond cruel. Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragment and support...because I really need them. I feel so down. You put a bright spot in my day...thank you so very much. (I will contact everyone & anyone that will listen...if this cancer center I go to thinks I will just go away quietly...its NOT going to happen...and I am sure thats what they count on.)

Thanks again Vickie, I so appreciate your post.
