I guess the difficult thing is accepting one step at a time. Yes perhaps he could have said it better but legally the surgeon does need to go through things with you prior surgery. And jumping ahead with the what ifs when he needs to do this might have resulted in that response. Yes have questions ready for your next appointment. Let him do his explanation of pathology or what it is you are there for and then ask the questions. This is the same for the oncologist. If you need more details or explanation ask them to go through it again. My surgeon has been just wonderful some days, then distant and distracted on others. They are only human and nobody performs at their best all the time. As much as this is frustrating for us during those awkward appointments. Hope you have your treatment plan soon and are recovering well. Kath x
