After reading these posts I am very very touched. I am three months post and going in for blood tests this weekend and then see both my oncologist
breast cancer lumpectomy all removed
my first oncologist said your cancer is cured then ...but we need radiation AI. ONCOTYPE Tests
I’m thinking about changing oncologist and having a second opinion
we have a oncologist social worker I can talk to. We primarily do video visits because of Covid.
I felt like where I was going for my radiation were very caring and when it was over they celebrated I had to bang a gong and they gave me a plaque
at first it felt silly but it helped and validated my time
One of the best helps going through treatment was a video my friend sent me of Freddy, From Queen, singing “another one bites the dust”
he had prostrate cancer radiation treatments
it helpt and made me laugh!
the main thing I’m dealing with is just anger mixed w grief
I don’t wanna be here in this situation

If your gut is suggesting a second opinion. Then go! Peace of mind is worth it. Especially if they agree and/ or disagree

Hello. I got a second opinion and my surgeon was a Harvard graduate. It's always a good thing for a second opinion, especially when you feel the way you do. You should never feel bound to any doctor if you aren't getting the treatment that you need or if you are uncomfortable with them.

@wyngnit - Great job making it to where you are today. Life does not always deal us the best cards so it is an adjustment to work with those you have. Keep looking for those things that make you “laugh”..

Positive thoughts will be with you this weekend as you have those tests.

I encourage you to reach out when the need arises, can you do this?

Take care!
