Have any of you experienced a reluctance on the part of other Docs, not your Onc, but other specialties, to treat you. I have severe back pain and finding it more difficult to walk.
I went to see a specialist, had an MRI of my back, after a neg. bone scan, and found I have spurs, bulging discs and pinched nerve. The ortho surgeon is afraid to touch me because I am stage IV bc with mets to liver. Am doing well, have been off chemo for a year, get every 3 week herceptin and am holding my own. Still have small tumor that can be seen in my liver, but much better than the 8 cm tumor I started with.
My onc says I am good to go and can have the surgery to relieve the pain and be able to walk without pain.
I am just so tired of other Docs getting "freaky" when it comes to treating me for things other than my Breast CA.
Has anyone else had this experience?
