100% correct, no confidence in him at all, ...first meeting didn't go well, he was busy chewing a hang nail from his finger...which he then pulled out from between his teeth and placed on his mobile phone... not even in bin... I kid you not and with God as my witness this was what took place... wish I'd known then that I had options to go somewhere else. I look at what is written on this site and think, crikey, I have none of that knowledge. My onc made decisions for me, and when I asked to discuss his decisions with my family was told it was not their decision to make. He didnt do chemo, i'm assuming I didn't need it, but he said that most patients on chemo get infections and then loose their fight due to infection, not the cancer...had to fight and stomp my feet just to get on Tamoxifen after the radiation...and then he wrote a letter to my gp declaring I had refused treatment.!!! Almost like he had me confused with another patient. He has made a difficult journey even more difficult cause now i don't know, and never will, if better decisions and treatments options could have been made..specially considering my cancer history. I asked my original gp back in January to refer me to someone else, but he bloody carried on and didn't want to get involved. They all seem to think this oncologist is some kind of superhero...if only they were in appt room to see what hes really like with patients..... Drs covering each other's backs.!! I have limited knowledge of my cancer cause he didn't explain much to me and I didn't know what to ask, although I am learning now thanks to you lovely ladies sharing your knowledge, wisdom and advice with me. I'm just sorry that for you all to be able to do that ..you've had to go through the whole bc journey yourselves...
A new oncologist is definitely what's now going to take place. .. and will def look at adjusting profile to show region where live... have a lovely weekend all. 🌻
