Re: Validation of chemo after affects - finally!

My oncologist never believed my watery eyes were a result of treatment. She blamed it on allergies. She still doesnt believe my lack of hair growth is a result of chemo. And she is on the fence about the osteoporosis being a result of treatment of just me being older. For me, I was in shock or a fog when I was first diagnosed and during initial meetings with my doctors that I dont think I fully understood all the possible side effects. I just knew I needed treatment and I didnt have time on my side. In hindsight, I wish I had asked more questions and not just went along with the treatment plan. I sure hope I am never faced with this again because I dont think I will be as agreeable or complacent.
