What to do

hi again everyone ..... Could have knocked me down with a feather today ... After weeks and weeks of telling nurses and surgeon and oncologist that I have lumps and I want something done and they have were just frobing me off with its nothing and I finally got my surgeon to send me for an ultrasound 2 weeks after radiation finished ...and he told me that there is no need to come back that he will ring me with the results I said ok and I went home. Well had the ultrasound they could feel the lumps but nothing showed up anyway I never heard back from the surgeon with the results so just took that as it was clear (even thou still had the lumps) ....so since then have just been getting on with life...But today I went to my go on another matter and I got the surprise of my life as he shut the door behind me he asked me how I have been and I said good thanks which I have been...then he said I have been waiting for the results of your biopsy and I said huh? What biopsy he said have u heard from your surgeon I said no he said well I have  and then he said have a seat so I sat down and then he told me about that last ultrasound I had cpl of months ago said that they found a tumour  and I just sat there not saying a word and he says did u hear me and I was just staring...and then he went on about what the usual course of action with this so aft I left being dumb founded that surgeon didn't even have enough thought or manners or what ever just plain rude and uncaring to even tell me about my own body which I have all rights to know good or bad but the dickhead just didn't care enough to tell me I'm so friggin angry the jerk! 

I got this tumour inside my boob doing god knows what to me ....

but I I'm not being a fool and going back to him even thou would love to march into his office and give it to him 

I'll rung the breast unit in east Melbourne and had a talk to them and they said we better get u into here asap so got  a appointment for this Thursday 

but what a arrogant so n so 

ok rant over

thanks for listening

?? kate

    Hi Kate...

    I would definitely be getting on the phone or going to see that surgeon and let him know exactly how you feel...He needs to be held accountable for his dismissive behaviour! Two months is a looooong time when it comes to matters such as this...heck 1 week is a looong time! So sorry you had to deal with an incompetent Dr as well as diagnosis.

    TRUST is the most important thing with your team.....I am hoping you find a suitable surgeon to join yours...

    Meanwhile, breeeeathe......head up and shoulders back. March into this knowing we have your back as does your family and friends.

    Wishing you all the best

    Xx

    Tracy

    OMG Kate that is more than bad manners. That is negligence or malpractice or something. This guy has known about your tumor for a couple of months and not taken any action! Wow, I that is appalling. I guess you've got enough to worry about at the moment but I would consider reporting his actions (or failure to act) to the medical board or whatever you do with dodgy doctors. Who knows what consequences the delay might have for you? Fingers crossed for you that all goes smoothly from now on and you are okay. Big hugs to you.

    So disgusted. Don't need that kind of treatment from medical people. Find a nice surgeon, makes a huge difference.

    What a jerk! I would definitely go to someone else. You need to be able to have trust in your medical team that they have your best interests at heart. Good luck for Thursday. Take care. Karen xox
