Re: Docs Need Primer on Long-Term Effects of Chemotherapy

On the flip side, for some docs it seems chemo side effects can sometimes be the handy explanation for every issue.
On the flip flip side, getting some doctors to admit there are SE's from the treatments they order is a challenge. Check the various threads on sexual side effects of breast cancer treatment for reference - doctors are either oblivious, think that the patient doesn't care about their sex life, or fail to discuss the potential for SSE's with their patients for the very good reason that the patient may reconsider the treatment.
