@cancerchick1, No one should have to go through what happened to you. I think @gingerw has some good suggestions and I'm wondering if this site will provide some additional help or support for you.

I too have been molested by a doctor. At the time I knew what he was doing but failed to take action as I was only a young teenager. It was during an eye exam and he definitely was very close and rubbing up against me in a lurid way.

I once mentioned this to my mom when I said that I didn't like him but she didn't do anything.

Abuse of power should be a deadly sin when used against children.

@cancerchick1 I applaud you for taking action. I hope that you can put this aside while you are dealing with your cancer so that you can keep your spirits up. If you can't please seek counseling. Ginger's recommendation of writing everything down and keeping a daily journal will help.

I hope that the days ahead are your best!

Merry
