Re: four month checkup today
Hi Tricia, so good to hear from you and thank you so much for responding.
I just got back from my checkup, like I said, same old, same old. I did question the doctor about the blood work and asked about scans. He told me if anything was wrong something would show up in the blood. As far as scans, he said "quit borrowing trouble". He did finally give me a script for a mammogram, it's been almost a year since I had one. I was kind of under the impression that it should be twice a year for awhile.
He said as long as I feel well and have no complaints that I shouldn't question things.
As far as a second opinion goes, he is my second 0pinion. My first doc liked to yell at me and tell me "just take the chemo and quit questioning everything. He had me upset most of the time and the last time I saw him, I left the office, in tears, without my treatment.
So, anyway, I'll be getting my mammogram one day this week and we'll see how that goes.
Thanks again my birthday buddy. I always like to hear from you.
Big, big hugs
