@rwinney @jesfactsmon @sunnyflower @bustrbrwn22 and to all my Neuropathy Warriors, First, Rachel, you have gone through just so much. It is indescribable. My heart goes out. I do think that doctors have a way of not telling us all of the facts that we need to make informed decisions. As a patient, we often even don't know what we don't know, so we don't know what to ask. So much is at stake. Doctors are so busy, that they don't tell us essentials. Big Pharma dictates a huge amount of their choices. It is so sad that after the fact, we realize what we should have done, could have done, etc. My breast surgeon and oncologist look at me blankly when I talk about my foot neuropathy, as though my radiation or perhaps an autoimmune response to my breast tumor created my neuropathy. They don't want to acknowledge this. How bout the fact that studies show that yearly mammograms can create too much radiation in breast tissue, and can cause breast cancer. How much does the mammogram industry make every year? Money, greed, politics, doctor overwork and exhaustion......on and on in not letting patients know all that they should know. Sad. Just sad.
