@arpie Yes! I was stunned. I agree with @Zoffiel: he’s not strong on empathy - and likely autistic. He needs an empath sidekick, but he doesn’t have one.
I wonder whether his choosing this particular regime for me is due to instinct/gut feeling? Or it could just be: it’s ‘the protocol” and it’s pretty bloody nasty and kills everything - this woman is healthy (apart from one tumour), so she should survive the treatment.
I also wonder whether more might have been done to advance to less nasty treatments, if the majority of breast cancer sufferers were men?
I’m sticking with this guy for the time being as I like the hospital. As of next week I’m recording every appointment from start to finish, so he might consider what he says to me.
