Re: Had to switch doctors...adventures of a bald headed freak
I LOVE you girls - you are all so empowering and uplifting! And Jackie - you are sooo right, "We have to pretty much do everything ourselves" - I learned this even before BC.........when I had to diagnose my DH's blood clot in his leg (I remind him all the time that I saved his life, lol.) ..........and when I discovered an error on the survey on the house we were trying to buy - no thanks at all to two different real estate lawyers. I realized then these "professionals" just are NOT invested in our lives - we have to use our own brains and 5 senses (and even our 6th sense) to manage all aspects our lives well, not just with BC.
MaryAn - I'm so sorry about your hands and hope they are better now. You GO GIRL for switching oncs! (I switched twice already - love my third onc now.)
Thanks ladies for really making me smile this morning!
