Hi Daisy,

I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. What a nightmare. Was this oncologist someone with Mayo? Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad you found a new oncologist and I hope your neurologist is able to address your pain! < 3

Hi Korinja, thank you for your response.
No, it’s not the Mayo Clinic. I always think of the Mayo Clinic with the highest regard and appreciation and I’m grateful for all of the good they do.
It was Kaiser. The doctors at the cancer center were wonderful, helpful and kind. The bad treatment I got was at another one of their facilities.

I always have trouble when I don’t listen to my own instincts.

By the way, my diagnosis is Clear Cell Carcinoma, stage two.
They thought it was polyps but it was an “extremely large tumor”. Also they have not come up with a cure for clear cell carcinoma … they told me I have four years to live and that it is rare, aggressive, and will return multiple times.
The bad side effects were too much for me to bear. I am 75 years old.
Pain management is another unlucky subject.

All the best, Daisy
