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 ...

Dear @Dory65
I feel your frustration viz uncommunicative oncologists! I too feel like I’m supposed to shut up and accept whatever he thinks is appropriate for me. My oncologist is so reluctant to answer my questions, he doesn’t ! I wonder how he expects me to make an informed decision about my treatment without any fxxxing information?
He actually laughed while telling me he normally ‘jokes’ with patients when he sees them just before their final treatment : “oh, I forgot to tell you, you have another 6 weeks’ treatment!” Horrified (I’m 2/3 of the way through), I told him “that’s not even the tiniest bit funny.”
Obviously no empathy. Is it a power trip?
I’m wondering, why isn’t some of the cancer funding paying an honors student to look back over the results of every patient in the past 20 years who’s had 6 month AC-Taxol protocol to differentiate between high ki67 cancers, to see their 5-10 year disease free survival rates? To see if all the trauma is truly worthwhile.
