Dear Steph
My husband says the same as you, especially when he drops by to say hi to me during my infusions and the doctor ignores him too. My mom just mentioned to me that she thinks she should switch as it really doesn't matter much to her. She had a textbook "early" detection by mammogram bc case (5mm tumor, 98% ER, 90% PR, Her2 negative, node negative). Had lumpectomy and radiation. Tamoxifen first but switched to Arimidex. She says she considers her internist (who watches her like a hawk) and our radiologist as her real doctors anyway. She only saw this oncologist every 6 months from the very beginning as she has such a "simple" case (if there is one).
At least you have said what only my husband and I have ever discussed, the unprofessional aspect of the situation. At first, during the first hallway encounter, I could understand him being miffed but get over it already. At least it was not just him and me as I know others who have switched from him (but I know others who adore him as well).
Thanks for responding.
Becky
