I'll be the first to yell from the rooftops about "Advocating for Ourselves!!!" but to what extent do we have to go to make sure our healthcare "providers" are doing their jobs?...I know the answer to that...we do what we have to do to get the care we need.
But, whenever I make that extra phone call or send, yet another email reminder, I can't help feeling like I'm being a nuisance. It's all so frustrating & it makes my relationship w/my docs feel a little adversarial.Then at the same time, I don't want to piss them off & be a "problem patient".
Sometimes/most times, I feel like I'M dictating my care & I only need the onc to sign the orders for my drugs or scans.
How do you guys out their maintain a "friendly" relationship w/your docs yet still be a strong advocate for your care?
