Thanks for sharing...

Thank you, everyone for your stories...
The audacity & absurdities that come out of some of these docs is pretty unbelievable!
But all hope & faith is not lost-I just got off the phone w/my SurgOnc - he has been part of my team for 4 years, understands the nuances of my journey w/StageIV disease & I trust him implicitly.
Even though I'm not currently under his direct care, he took the time to review my recent PET, review the consult notes from the RadOnc & offered his opinion.
He said the RadOnc is suggesting the "standard of care" treatment for me, but as we all know, my situation is extremely unusual & we can't just follow the "standard of care." And he's referring me to another RadOnc that "just gets it".
So thank you all, again, for sharing your stories-I was feeling a little uncertain & maybe like I was being hypersensitive, but now feel vindicated & supported in my decision to leave a doc that I knew wasn't the right one for me.
Keep the Faith~
