A different doctor found the tumor, and once it was removed the pain went away. The first doctor nevertheless maintained that I had a chronic illness even though there was no more pain and no other symptoms of a chronic condition presented themselves. She just wouldn't admit she had overlooked the real cause. So your radiation oncologist has company (more's the pity)!RRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212897654388258837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33062546.post-55399973709510491632012-10-15T11:03:41.431-07:002012-10-15T11:03:41.431-07:00Thanks, Rebecca.

I don't question his expertise on radiation treatments, but move one inch afield and it's easy for him to overlook the obvious. To this day he believes most the pain was in the tumor. His rationale was that the pain would have subsided when I saw him after 4 days on an antibiotic. Well, by the 6th day it did!<br /><br />As for technology - well, my hands are up in surrender mode!<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326362177737426232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33062546.post-2468131783268159392012-10-14T18:21:35.305-07:002012-10-14T18:21:35.305-07:00You did (much, much) better than I would have done...You did (much, much) better than I would have done in connecting your various devices--no loss of honor in calling in an expert at this point!<br /><br />I hope that these in-between days give you a chance to breathe and do things that you want to do. <br /><br />I also hope that the pain subsides asap. I feel like giving your radiation oncologist a very firm talking-to--thank goodness you took matters into your own hands and got yourself tested.RRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212897654388258837noreply@blogger.com
