Hi - Thanks for asking the question! I am in the midst of a hard time right now as I am looking for an Onc who would not dismiss a brain MRI out of hand. So far I have had 3 no's and it is distressing to me as I do think one would be a good Dr. I am suffering from information overload but feel that I have invested close to 90k in my health to get through 2 mastectomies, Chemo, rads, and now herceptin. I want to be proactive and not wait till I have a huge met. somewhere before we start to treat it! My breast tumor was 5cm before anyone noticed it! This is such a hard thing to deal with emotionally. I struggle to sound rational yet break into tears and fear I am being dismissed as an overemotional, chemically induced menopausal nut. wahhhh wahhh wahhh
But everything else is great... I am back to work teaching pottery, just entered a art competition, new shows coming this year! So life does go on. Thanks everyone for this wonderful website and the encouragement it has given me to just not be so ALONE!!! love and hugs, Kim
