False statement about cancer

I wish I would have been more persistent with my primary. I had gotten a CAT scan to look at a bowel obstruction. I was diagnosed at that point with fibroids in my uterus and a mass on my fallopian tubes. I had had earlier in my life surgery on my fallopian tubes because they had been scarred . The gastroenterologist said that that would be something that I need to discuss with my primary. I made the appointment with the primary and she said oh that's nothing. We don't ever do anything with uterine fibroids. 2 years later I'm diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer that had moved into my fallopian tubes. I wish I would have sought another opinion. It really infuriates me that I had Primary physician who wasn't willing to explore my cincerns. I moved away from her about that time because I also wanted to get bone density scans but I wasn't 65 yet and she refused to order it. I was able to find a primary who would order that about 9 months later to discover that I had osteoporosis. Not all doctors are good doctors

A friend of mine is a primary care physician. He says all the time, "what do they call the person who finished last in his or her class?"

"Doctor!"
