    i'd cut the onc some slack or maybe you could punch him out
    I may have been tempted to punch him in the nose.

    I would not pay him for the consultantion and tell him to go sue my estate for the bill but that hopefully that along time in coming.

    then I would slam the door in his face.

    OR

    I would bite my tongue realising I got few options, and I need the onc to dishout the chemo.

    Its a hard call what I would say! all these treatment decisions.

    I always try and think about the big picture, breathe peaceful breathes, control my temper and get the best out of a situation.

    doctors cannot know what it feels like to have colorectal.

    they can try and pretend they got cancer.

    but they can never rely sit in the patients chair.

    I guess their words can help often they hurt.

    Maybe all onc's could try and empathise.
    some oncs do, some don't even bother.

    either way we, you, me and all the crc's are left with treatment and lifestyle decisions everyday.

    next time you are told QUALITY OR QUANTITY I'd change the OR to an AND.

    I'd say "can we not aim at QUALITY AND QUANTITY".

    If you want to checkout the alternative universe try google "life extension foundation".
    I am still reading their massive supplements and treatments guide.

    My son broke my reading glasses, so its extra challenging reading at the moment. My folfox was helped by a range of supplements. they are their if you need them.

    this world is just to wonderful not to fight. as the beatles said "love is all you need"

    hugs,

    The nerve!
    Hmmm...I would definitely let that guy know what you think of his pronouncements. What a poor bedside manner! Another doctor is in order, it seems like. You are far too vital and wonderful and needed to be put out to pasture.

    *hugs*

    Poor choice of words at the
    Poor choice of words at the wrong time on your doctor's part. Our doctor recommeded that we did NOT go to the Mayo Clinic to get ablation done on my husband's liver. He referred to it as spot welding. We did it anyway and ended up getting 'fired' because we didn't trust his advice along with some other reasons that were false. I guess it's a fine line about what you can say or question, but we are better off being somewhere else.
