I'd like to nominate my surgeon, or ex surgeon as he is now!

Some time after my surgery I had begun asking questions and wanting to understand more about this disease and the type I had.
We don't as routine in Ireland get a copy of our path report (although I did request it and was given it by my onc ) so one day at a check up I began asking him (my surgeon) questions. he answered the first one or two which were fairly harmless but when I questioned further he completly shut me out by saying and I quote, " I think thats all you need to know for now"......gulp!!!
Hence he's now my ex surgeon, he was the best in the country at his job and a complete gentleman but what a let down in the info catgegory
I think a year of being banished may help him contemplate his error's.
