One day, the day after chemo, I had to wait a long time with my chart for my Leukine (blood boosting drug) shot. The nurses were busy so I perused my chart. There was a letter from my (then) onc to my surgeon thanking her for the referral. The letter outlined that I would get 4 ACs and 4 taxols and then go on Tamoxifen " for as much good this will do for her". S...! What a whack job he was - and I am here and he is no longer my doctor either!
