I know what you are feeling about the attitude - got it suprisingly for the first time from the lady doing my mammogram (first one since treatment) - I had scheduled an MRI (being my own advocate) on my good side, which has also cost me an arm & a leg, and they threw in a mammogram as well that I did not know about. The lady told me that I need to learn to be my own advocate and know what my appointments are about - can you believe that?! I did not bother arguing as she had absolutely no idea and neither do those doctors - it is your life they are dealing with and they need to answer your questions - could you imagine where you would be if you didn't? Go for it, be demanding and get mad if you need to, this is your life!Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061979362623164702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692155185726654066.post-66740019848753366862010-09-22T20:22:01.492-07:002010-09-22T20:22:01.492-07:00Hi Penny, I am a two time TNBC survivor.

I cracked a rib doing some mild exercises, as rads had weakend my bones, but I recovered. I loved watching the machine too, the one I had (at Mayo in Scottsdale) looked like "combs" controlling the direction and depth of the rads. It was amazing! I had chemo, rads, 2 surgeries, am now 63, had first dx at 54. I work everyday, own my own business, and have a pretty busy life. Just wanted you to know there is life after BC, and it is good.

We didn't come to visit for a social call and we are not their to win friends and influence people we have come to buy their services and in exchange they will get paid so maybe in medical school some customer service and marketing classes should be part of the curriculum. I love you keep strong!

They need to answer them. They need to educate their patients. They should have received that training in med school. I know I did in nursing school. Had my friend, who lost his battle last month, asked more questions, he would most likely still be here. The law suit started this week, as malpractice was confirmed. So, keep asking questions! This isn't their life, it is yours!

There must have been a reason for the delay. I think the delay was God sent so we all make sure that kind of radiation you get, do not harm your heart of gold. <br />Hang in there my child. Pretty soon You'll be whole again. Your family loves you. that includes us. <br />Love youuuuuuuu<br />From here to thereEllie K.
