Good news

in Breast Cancer #1
Went for another of my 3 month check-ups with my surgeon. I was a little concerned as I felt a little bump where my lumpectomy scar is. He said all is fine and I had nothing to worry about. It was pretty normal for this to happen.
He also had a medical student with him and asked if it was OK with me if he showed her how to do a breast exam. Of course I said yes. The more drs. we have to help us the better.

Hugs,
Georgia

    Good news? Great news!
    Great news, Georgia. I agree with you, the more breast exams I get, the better I feel. Silly isn't it? I also find that when a medical student is present, the doc spends more time with me because he's also teaching. And if I ask questions, I think there's a more thorough explanation. I don't have a single doctor appointment in August or Sept and it feels really strange after this past year when it felt like I was always at one doctor or another. Isn't it great to have that behind us?

    glad to hear the good news. I do think when a dr has a student in the room, more attention is given and time spent. I had a student several times while getting rads. Very pleasant and always asked if it was okay. I think hands on is the best education.
