...but she was awful with me on the phone...

Please complain about this!!! It is her job to be nice to you...
...she said that anyway even if it was mets until it actually impaired my life quality they would not treat it! because that is what they do for stage 4 BC...

Then she is an IDIOT, and you need a new onc right away!!!! If you wait until your quality of life is impaired, it could be too late. Uh, what ever happened to catching it early, treating it before it gets out of hand??? Please take the stupid stick and slam this person really hard for me. I am sooooo very pissed off about your conversation with this jerk. The registrar should not be doling out medical advise over the phone or at all, and by telling you that you can't get treatment until your at deaths door, that is exactly what she did. As a paralegal, I can be prosecuted for doling out legal advise, so I don't do it!!! This person is impersonating a doctor. Please speak to the office manager about this. If it is that impossible to see your onc, you REALLY need to find a new onc that will be interested in your health and well being. Argh...........
