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 ...
....“oh, I forgot to tell you, you have another 6 weeks’ treatment!”.....
Bloody HELL, @Kiki_Dances60 - if my Onc said that to me, I'd bloody swear & probably THUMP HIM! Definitely power tripping. I wonder if he tells his male patients with prostate, that? I bet not!
I am onto my 2nd Onc as my first Male Onc was totally disinterested in me & my condition - so I swapped to a lovely female Onc.
Re someone collating all that info - as @Dory65 says - it SHOULD be done!! As it is, they are obviously not even collating side effects & Oncs keep perpetuating the lie that it doesn't happen much!
BTW - whereabouts are you? Town/state? We may have members nearby ;)
All the best with your ongoing treatments and remember you CAN change Oncs if you want to!! xx
