My Rad Onc made my day

OK, so every Wed during radiation, I see my doc. He pulls up my name on his computer, and there are 7 other women in the system with my name. He picks one with a 1955 birthday, looks, then asks me for my birth date. When I told him (1947), he says "wow! you sure look young; I didn't think that the '47 was you" I pretended I didn't hear him, so he had to repeat himself.

Needless-to-say, I walked out of radiation with bouncy steps.

    I loved my rads oncologist too, but, he never said that to me. LOL

    Wow
    What an awesome thing to hear at a time when we're not really feeling our best, especially since it was so obviously sincere. Enjoy the compliment, you deserve it.

    My favorite part, too
    "I'm sorry, what was that you said -- could you repeat that?"

    You're a hoot, Cindy!
