Re: Brain Mets came back -- Help Needed
It is frustertating to have a doc that will pointedly just deny a treatment that you feel is better for you. While you say that this is your second doctor, I would not let that stop me if I felt my needs were not being met. Doctors are not Gods and I refuse to treat them as such. I hope you get the help you feel you deserve. I wish you had better news, I guess we all worry about turing for the worst and just hearing we will wait til it stops working seems like we will plug up the dam when it breaks as opposed to making a better dam.
I will pray for you sister. We all need good doctors who include us in the treatment decisions or at least let us know their rationale for their treatment choices.
