I whole heartedly agree with Believe 51. When I received my diagnosis, the first decision I made was that I would not go to any oncologist who wasn't going to fight for me. My sister in law succumbed to breast cancer over twenty years ago, but I remember her referring to her oncologist as Dr. Doom--because he always depressed her. I am fortunate to have an oncologist who doesn't sugar coat the facts and at the same time gives me hope. You have to tip the scales in your favor and have a team who has your best interests at heart.
Keep positive and remember that each treatment brings you closer to good health and to life.
All the best!
