From my experience cancer doc's are only interested in treating the cancer not the whole person. Side effects be damned. Anemic? No comment. Rectal bleeding during radiation? Must be the way you wipe. Bladder urgency to the point of blowing up on the table? Empty, drink and get back on that table as I need that $5K today. Receptionist wanted to know if I wanted 5 additional sessions? I said sure as long as you paid me the $5K per session. I hated my radiation team and will find another one if needed.

So very true in most cases. You definitely have to be your own advocate. None of my cancer doctors mentioned bone density, exercise, vitamins,etc etc. Even here at Mayo. I have found it true of other specialist too. They totally focus on their specialty and ignore the rest of the body.
