...sorry to hear your trouble, have had bad doctoring so many times, you often don't find out that's where you're headed until the bad results show up - something not done, not done right, done with poor quality to equal lesser results, etc - and always there's an excuse or blatant lies to cover up, some of the time you can't prove anything, recently was burned at face, neck & chest with radiation (including sore throat/neck swelling), but was not getting head/neck radiation!! Radiation Tech first told me they could not see the burn or swelling but still decided to tell me, maybe it was caused by the gown! ...you can use research and due diligence to find quality medical care and still come up with a bad experience... have had my share of really great, over-the-top medical care but finding these providers isn't always easy... and, unfortunately for the patient, a lot of medical think you're a problem and a pain if you're asking questions--however simple--about your issues/treatment, many just want to tell you, "we're doing A,B,C...just show up next week" ...partly this happens because their time is very limited with each patient, that's the nature of most businesses, but not much can help a bad outcome that could have been prevented by better communication on everyone's part... remember, there are many more good than bad providers in medical, just have to find them and keep them on your team... wishing you good luck and good health in all that you do...

@lifetraveler Thank you for your hug! I love your name!
@lrr Thank you for your kind words. I’m sorry you also had experience with bad doctors. As you said, there are more good than bad doctors. I’m happy that I’ve gone through with the mastectomy after 2 years of wavering. Lumpectomy and radiation was an easy out, but with brca, that’s just a quick fix.
Thank you for “listening”. Wish you all the best!
