Un pc thoughts
So im writing this just to get it out. I dont really expect a solution. Apologise in advance if the un pc nature of this is not nice. I am getting a counsellor soon. Ive been aware all along that ...

Hi @Dory65,
Hard to know given dont know your circumstances. I tend to favour the medical advice however I'm with you on having time spent to address your concerns. I get 15 min with my onc prior to chemo. He runs through his list of symptoms and then ticks go. I dont blame him as waiting room and chemo rooms full but how I crave a relationship with the person in charge of saving my life
I also question at times whether treatments work. The Web is littered with recurrence stories an im determined to make my body stronger to handle my future situation whatever it might be. There are services if you have health insurance extras which handle exercise medicine, counselling and physio, diet in one place for a more holistic approach. I think they also advocate for you. I cried my eyes out first session as I'd had oral thrush for 5 week and was miserable. Dr there mentioned a drug and hey presto my onc suggested in my next appt.
