Met with oncology for a game plan in my treatment options
The drs did not like that I asked questions and had concerns. I guess they are used to people who come in and say ok do whatever and I have no questions! There is only one treatment protocol for me and that’s surgery, chemo, radiation, and hormone blocker for 5 years, more than likely it will come back. And I’m a stage 2 or 3. I saw the surgeon today which , she doesn’t have a sense of humor.😫 and she said chemo first then surgery, then left quickly bc she couldn’t answer my questions, and got the medical oncologist. The doctor answered some questions but she told me if I cannot tolerate the treatment plans then there is nothing she can do for me. A little background of me, 9 years ago o was given Otezla for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, that medication destroyed my biology and caused symptoms of severe side panic attacks and anxiety. Never had before. That lasted 8 months, and I had to learn to be confident in medication again. The dr did not want to believe that sometimes when I take a new medication it can cause a panic attack. She tried telling me it’s in my head and anxiety. To me I’m like after everything I’ve been going through the past few weeks I would have been having multiple panic attacks, but I’m not and my anxiety isn’t too bad either except before an appointment. Please tell me that all drs are not like this? I am trying to find humor behind all of this and stay positive, but I get looked at with disgust from the drs. I’m so lost and feel worse than I did finding out I have breast cancer . I am double negative carcinoma and in lymph node’s. I’m so dense they cannot even tell me a for sure stage until I get the mri of the breast. I need reassurance and support the most. Talking about my son’s graduation in 4 years, made me cry bc from what the dr is saying I could be dead by then.
