Only half listen to them, always stay positive, that is the key to fighting this. My Oncologist doesn't (won't more to the point) really tell me much, unless she really really has to, it has happened once so far.
When I visit her I get one of the following lines
"treatment is being managed" or "nothing to discuss all the same" or keep doing what your doing"
She has told me that when things do change and there is concern she will discuss things then. Her attitude is - if you can stay positive as much as possible then that is half the battle. I believe this to be so.
So I say to you, (Natalie) don't listen to half of what they say, your strong, young, what do they know, we know our bodies and mind better than they do.
Smile on the dial.
