It is so hard to think clearly when you are in pain, weak, and alone. Especially when you do not have a compassionate doctor. I was a radiation therapist and thank God the doctor I worked for was compassionate. If this doctor you see knew anything, she would know that when you have cancer your nutrition, mental health, and physical health is compromised. Research has proven that a multi modal approach is best. If this doctor is so concerned about you concentrating on the cancer she should not be upsetting you but providing you support. All medical personnel and the common person knows this. It angers me so much when a doctor or anyone that comes in contact with patients that need support decide they are the authority and tell you how you are supposed to feel. I notice your call name, shy, well Janice Stop being shy, you deserve this care. My husband is shy but I have finally got him to stand up for himself to be treated right. Please don't take offense to my statement but realize every one has to practice taking up for themselves. I am the opposite of shy so I have to make sure I word my requests appropriately and not as demands that cause someone to be defensive and not to help me. Janice, use statements like, How would you treat your daughter, sister, Mother. Be honest about your condition. Contact the local Cancer Society and they have advocates, volunteers, and professionals that will help you with your health crisis. Use them, they want to give back and most have been through the experience. I have renamed you Tiger instead of Shy : ) Go get um Tiger! I am thinking of you and hoping for the best.
