I'm so sorry to hear about your anxiety. I joined this group because of a loved one. I feel they are not ready to look into
their diagnosis (avoid the the unknown) which leaves
me to handle their care, so for me it brings about lots of concern followed by many questions to my loved one's handling team. I feel they are blowing me off. Because when I had accompanied my loved one to their post-op office visit, I was very mad at cancer and the pathology report which I believe bruised the ego of the attending physician and the surgeon. I made the mistake of telling them my feelings out loud which i was disappointed and mad at the diagnosis of cancer, pathology report and what was on that pathology report (positive margin). I let my emotions overwhelm me which i feel is understandable (shock). You think they would show empathy/reassurance afterwards (answer questions) so you can leave them be to do their job. I realize too many questions may have to be addressed at scheduling another appt., but at least try to answer what you can followed by "Lets schedule you an appt to get those questions addressed" I feel we were treated like first class when they were scheduling the surgery $$$, but I now feel like we have been seated in coach. Sorry to rant forgive me.
