I have felt my diet since chemo, needs to be changed and that is so hard to figure out. I would love recommendations for someone to see.

If you know of one, I would appreciate an expert in my area of Vancouver, WA for a diet that would help my neuropathy. I have tried several supplements to no avail. (I was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic ovarian cancer September 2011.) Thank you, Betsy

Thank you for your input about doctors writing in charts. My Onc suggested I talk with her since she is such a wonderful surgeon. I have till March to decide if I will keep her or not. Nothing is worse than not having a good relationship with your doc. Am so very grateful that I have a wonderful relationship with my pcp and plastic surgeon. I have to change onc because mine retired...another relationship to build.

Dr.Shani,
Thank you for responding to my post about things going so fast. I talked with ALL of my docs about it and they all said, "That's the way it is. Most people just want it done". I have lost respect for all of them for not taking my concern seriously. I even made my oncologist talk with me about "what would have my life looked like if I didn't treat, not even surgery". He didn't want to talk about it (it was AFTER I was done with tx). What a huge disservice to me. Too many friends heard me say, "I'd rather be dead than go through this" and it was because I didn't have my head wrapped around it. BIGGEST psychological mistake I EVER made. I have no family. Maybe it would have been different if I did.

It still isn't okay because now the medical costs are bankrupting me. However, I do NOW believe the decision to treat was the best decision and in my best interest. Took A LOT of therapy hour and EMDR treatments to get there.

It is not appropriate for you to market your services on this site. If you want to offer support and suggestions that would be appreciated, but repeatedly soliciting clients is not.
