I'm happy if the doctor seems fully concerned, but he's getting paid for it.

As we age there are more and more of our friends and relatives who have medical situations they're going through ... and as we go through our own. I have two old friends right now going through it, and one friend's wife too. I'm on this group because I'm curious about his PC, as he was exhibiting side effects of the treatments. We seem to have a balanced view of what he cares to share and what I can stand to know. The other and his wife are both going through other kinds of cancers, actually, and as far as imminent danger and detailed treatments, have far more to say. If they published ten-page summaries daily I might read them, but y'know, there's nothing I could really do about any of it.

All three seem to be handling their situations very bravely, and I hope if and when I'm in similar shoes I can do as well.

So I just try to be supporting, and if they want to talk about it I hope I can be a friendly ear.
