thanks for the quick replies! I'm sure you both relate to the instant panic that overcomes us with any thought of a new cancer. I have such a high level of medical anxiety. I actually passed out after a visit with my first Oncologist( they had to call 911!) He did not have people skills and after that episode I transferred to another wonderful Oncologist in Chicago. I had seen him a few times and was not getting my questions answered plus he made me so nervous with his vague answers. I realize that we need to feel good about our medical team. I have become a little more pro-active but am finding it hard to put cancer into more of the background. Thank goodness for this website!
