Well, being 78 I haven’t had an OB/GYN or pelvic exams for several years. My PCP is not “hands-on” and never checked breasts even though I had ductal cancer/lumpectomy in opposite breast over 24 years ago. Evidently doctors just accept radiologist report and it ends there—at least mine did! I am angry and have not talked with PCP directly. Trying to concentrate on now but it’s hard! Now oncology surgeon is wanting me to have genetic counseling but can’t get straight answers that it would be covered by Medicare/supplemental insurance. Very disheartening and frustrating.

You deserve doctors you trust, and actually feel like they care. I'm in the midst of changing my oncologist. I tried hard to give him every opportunity; but eventually had to admit he wasn't in it for me.
