Dr.'s should listen to their patients!
Have to be honest and admit I was a tad bit smug and enjoyed telling her I told you so!

Yeah, they should
The best doctors I've ever had are the ones that took my concerns seriously and really investigated them.
You've won another battle in this war, so rest and heal up!
PS: When you do start chemo, be super careful about all their precautions when your blood counts are down.0 -

I made it thru 4 rounds of TAC with xeloda and avastin then 4 rounds of ACT with avastin before I had surgery. I basically became a recluse! LOL medical staff were amzed that I never ended up in the hospital. I credit being well educated about my care and then being in good health to start with.0 -

Wow -- you must be taking good care of yourself. I "only" had 4 rounds of TC but managed to get a nasty upper respiratory tract infection because I wasn't enough of a recluse! Thought I had to run the errands, etc. Foolish.0 -

moments with my Oncologist and his PA .. I silently laughed out loud to myself!!! Sad to say, it's sometimes the only way to get them to listen you.
