That kind of describes how my Onc did my last exam. We never have the nurse in the exam room, she's too busy with the other patients in the chemo room.
It didn't bother me. I knew he was pushed for time, and didn't do anything I would consider to be sexual.

Now my Rad Onc was one of those that wouldn't touch you if he could help it. He said he got tired of washing his hands all the time. So, it takes all kinds I guess.

If changing doctors is not an option, I would have a friend accompany me. My husband comes in with me, so I don't forget to mention some detail and often he hears things that I miss.

My Oncologist never even looks at my breast. He just pushes on my stomach, thumbs a few things and listens to my heart and lungs. I have been seeing him every 3 weeks now for over 3 years so he would probably be very bored with looking at my breasts by now anyway. He only checked my breasts a couple of times when I had questions about scar tissue and when the shingles broke out. Otherwise, he refers me to my breast surgeon every 6 months for a check up. ...sherryg683
