Re: Ugg
Rich,
When I was healing from surgery complications I spent all mine time studying my Her2 breast cancer. I would walk in to my doctors office with all these facts and figures about the latest studies. Needless to say, my research was not well received with my former oncologist. If it was outside the standard of care it was not well received. Of course the doctor never explained to me what this "standard of care" was.
My current oncologist is much more understanding and was very supportive of me enrolling in the cancer vaccine trial.
Being heard and understood sure makes a big difference!
I love your research and that you keep us all posted. Perhaps the doctors don't listen, but we cancer survivors hear you loud & clear.
