We should absolutely trust our doctors. If we can't trust them, we should find another. That said, we also need to be our own advocates. I have a friend who told me she used to keep things from her doctor because she always wanted to get a good report on her physical, as if she were in eighth grade, taking a test. Now, after 25 years with a blood cancer, she tells her doctors everything. I admit I was reluctant to share things in the past. No longer. Don't be afraid to speak up if something bothers you or you don't understand something. Good luck to you. And safe travels.
