Re: New Oncologoist needed - Final Straw
Thank you Bonnie and you know my ONC is a nice guy, but every single time I see him it is the samething. What are you doing for fun?? Have you went out dancing??? First couple of times I thought awww he is so nice, then I thought nothing is fun about this crap and quit asking me that. Now, I feet at this very moment like I want to chop them off and he still wants to talk about what I am doing for fun......errrrrr. Then when I was leaving he said you are a very smart lady, and by then I thought is that supposed to make me feel better by telling me you think I am smart!! I don't care if you think I am, and I don't need that validation from him. You know one thing I worry about is okay I hope not but what if I have a reoccurance. I just think I don't know if I would have it in me to drive 3 hours round trip for treatment. Maybe he is really on top of it all and really intelligent about things I don't know.
Again, I am frustrated today because of pain, tired and TODAY JUST SUCKS!! I will start over tomorrow, but I sure wish I had someone I felt I could totally trust and do what they advised and felt good about it.
