It worries me that do have so many patients. DMX 3 weeks and I feel oncologist is very pushy. How radiation can a small body take? Then she started telling me of some 5 year pill. She calls me different name, I have to correct her. I know none of my numbers. I will have to find oncologist that as little more time for me.
I'm a beginner at ILC breat cancer

You’re on the right track to find an oncologist that you trust. I changed both my surgeon and oncologist to get a good fit and it was well worth the time & hassle. It’s at least a 5 year relationship with follow-ups, so it’s important to have an oncologist who listens & will make changes if necessary.
To this day I continue to bring up my conditions and concerns to the docs at each appointment, including my primary care doc.
Do you have access to a patient portal? Mine has all of my visit notes, OP notes, pathology reports etc.
At some point we were all beginners to this BC stuff - that’s why this forum is so helpful!
