Hi there nasas1 ( let's know your name if you like) I know what you're going through, dare I say. I find that once you've had your surguries, chemo & radiation, it does indeed seem that the doctors write you off. I have secondary in my back, & I've been told by a registrar "you need to remember that you're not as sick as some". Great! Not that I wish to be wanting them to find things wrong, but those sorts of comments at an oncology consult are not helpful. So I've changed where I go & who I see. We are permitted to do this. Can I suggest that rather than being afraid of all doctors....I can promise you they are not all the same. You need to find someone who listens to you, takes time for you, & doesn't necessarily push you off to GPs. Depending where you are receiving treatment, you might be able to get some help with this. For example, is there a breast oncology nurse where you go who you can talk to? I am glad that I made the decision to move elsewhere, & I'm looking forward to my first appointment. You should be able to talk to your GP about it too-reminding him/her that we are permitted to change providers if the current situation is causing stress. Let me know how you go, and welcome to the group! Take care Kathleen
