I don't believe any one of them, if honest, would commit to a date in time because cancer is notorious for reappearing years after a remission or period of NED. I would embrace the answer you were given, it's acceptable, right? Best to you!

Thanks for the reply. Was having a "lonely" moment. Feeling like I'm the only person with any clue about going through this.

I'm stupid. Lol

Appreciate you and your Kind reply.

Stupid is as stupid does and people, doctors included, can really be stupid. I can get rather snarky when people forget to think.

The cancer I had was in a different area of my body and some time back when hardly anyone had seen that type of cancer in a woman. The questions about my sexual activity were downright idiotic. Basically, I heard a lot of men (I spoke to eight oncologists) say a lot of very rude things and ask me about things they would be hesitant to bring up with their wives. I am guessing they thought my brains were in my nether regions ... because that is where they kept their heads.

Radiation is also quite damaging to that whole lower region. I explained to the radiologist who worked for the oncologist I had chosen that I would (again) walk away from treatment if I were to need to um .. close up my lower shop. The dude lied and lied and lied.

Nobody ever asked me where I had cancer while I was treating. That, in itself, may be telling of idiocy. I guess folks just assumed, since I am a gal, that my boobs were involved. .. or my unmentionables? I dunno.

The son of a female animal with four legs and many nipples radiologist had actually convinced himself that he was doing people a favor by lying to them to get them to treat.

Still, I am luckier than some ... and, since you are here, I suppose so are you. Best wishes.

I am following you because I care about you.
