Greg, I still don't have access to the digest. Any movement on that front?

I am writing to you rather than posting to the entire group. I have completed treatment for uterine cancer stage; 3c
diagnosed 11/11; hysterectomy, taxol and paraplatin, external and internal radiation and most recently had a hemicolectomy 9/12 because of a colon tumor;stage 2..
The surgeon said it was doubtful that I would need chemo(last treatment 7/12) but sent my reports to my medical oncologist.
(whom I don't always feel "safe" with.) He doesn't keep me informed and answers most of my questions with vague answers. He makes me feel like a nervous nellie rather than a cancer patient trying to be her own advocate. He tells me to call if I have concerns yet many times when I do, the call is not returned. I am not an assertive person
but I am getting angry with this situation. I don't think it is right to feel like a PIA to my medical oncologist.
It makes me feel alone. I mean, who do I contact? I have so many doctor's since this diagnosis. I feel little compassion from any of them other than my primary MD and cancer is not his specialty. Am I just over thinking all of this?would the doctors definately contact me if there was a problem or do we become just a paper on a desk?
Thanks for listening

I've listened to both of the speeches you've given. What a great job, I find myself laughing at the appropriate times. Feeling the sadness you expressed when losing your parents. You're a good guy to have around, that's for sure. Your positive attitude when it comes to this nasty disease is inspiring. Whoever decided to make you a Team Member of WhatNext made the right decision. Keep up the good work and let me know when another video gets posted so I can listen to it as well.

Hey Greg,

Good morning to you! How do I change my age in my personal info? I've had another birthday and I need to update.

Thanks,
Crash

Congratulations on your good news that you have a plan to deal with your dental care. Not sure what the risks are but I'm very glad for you that there is a specific plan and you are ready. Warm thoughts, Lisa
