I see the radiation oncologist tomorrow morning. I really need to have some questions answered. During the last two appointments the doctor has answered my questions with big sweeping answers that have shut down my questions. Comments like, "we've been doing this for 20 years, it works" and "you have changed and things will not be the same again"
Good Grief!!!
Changed? How have I changed?
Hopefully tomorrow I will get my questions answered... I have wrote them down. I will plod through them, even if his answers try to shut them down.
Wish me luck. I need to have them answered so that I can go forward with this leg of my treatment plan with confidence and purpose.
Does that make sense to you? or am I being overly judicious?

  2. Dodi -

    Please let us know your decision.

    I just got back from a follow-up appointment with my radiation oncologist - I rec'd an "all clear." No need to go back for 4 more months.

    I did 25 days of radiation which was completed on 27 August. I had virtually no side-effects. The treatment was much easier than chemo.

    I wish you the best,
    Jane
