You made a good decision in choosing him in the first place based on the info you had at the time. But I'm with Jennifer - think about whether a change would be right for you, don't feel like you have to be stuck with this guy.<br /><br />Secondly, OH MY GOD. I am so sorry you went through all of this! So glad that the beta blockers seem to be helping! And yay, Martha, for reminding you how carefully you have been making decisions from the very beginning. Props too to the CDU (b.t.w. I was tearing up a bit but then the Law & Order crack made me laugh so hard I almost spit out my yogurt) doctor for having some decency - finally! <br /><br />We all deserve decency, Tay. You might have cancer, but you're still a living being and you DO deserve better during your treatment. Keep fighting back, let them know you are not to be trifled with.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15004173055166404126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125354934408472049.post-36242116733312242342010-09-30T11:04:56.734-05:002010-09-30T11:04:56.734-05:00I know--sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mi...I know--sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind. He's extremely well-regarded as being the best person in this field in Chicago, which is why I chose him. It just makes me tired.Katy Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524508177957058950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125354934408472049.post-71973461208547652682010-09-30T10:39:19.108-05:002010-09-30T10:39:19.108-05:00It's nice to at least have someone "human...It's nice to at least have someone "human" to contrast with this "as-WEEP-ay" oncologist you have to deal with. Maybe after every interaction with him, you can replay the whole scene in your mind where he instead acts like a concerned human being and he actually gives you helpful information. At least you know it's not you. He likely offends all his charges, not just his 35 y.o. mom of two. His B.S. isn't worth the energy of articulating at just how many levels it offends. You know, he's not the only oncologist in the world. Can you change after chemo and get a new one? It's one thing if a doctor is technically proficient and smart but with no sense of social skills, like your gynie, but this guy's full of bad info and bad advice too. He sounds like a tool of the pharmaceutical industry.Jennifer Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17916821571244626445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7125354934408472049.post-42822622597601280742010-09-30T07:29:01.979-05:002010-09-30T07:29:01.979-05:00Exactly.
