I am sorry you have the same issue. I don’t understand why so many doctors can’t understand that what we want, should at least be considered. I am so glad we found Mayo and a network of local Mayo trained doctors now. It is comforting to know we now get included in the decision making. I hope you have found ways to deal with this, an independent women’s lingerie shop is a miracle to people like us.

Chris, This is Nancy Clark. Could I ask you where the closest Mayo trained Docter is to Sequim, WA. Seattle is 2 hours away by ferry. I had masectomy with HR+ or HER2 and decided to not take any meds as I am 87, and take no other meds. I am now wondering if I made the wrong or right decision. Having my second onocology doc
appointment Dec. 21,22 finally, and the last doc barely read or answered my question list. It is a tiring 4 hour trip by bus and ferry for me since I don't drive to Seattle. Any ideas? Thanks
