Hope this helps

Dear Lori: I am disturbed that your radiation oncologist would say such blanket statements! If you want a scan, you find a doctor who will order one for you. This is your body and your cancer. If these doctors only knew how damaging their hollow statements can be sometimes! Yikes! glad that your regular oncologist is easer to talk with. Sorry you were depressed about this tactless statement by this doc, too. They don't know. Hang in there!
