I went to see my oncologist this morning. I live in a city and go to locally well known cancer clinic associated with an research hospital.
I was there for a three month check in and blood work as I have been stable on AI and Ibance for the past year. The last six weeks had been rough, due to a cold which resulted in horrible fatigue. I have really been struggling and also had some new joint pain that I posted about earlier. I know things could be worse, and I am grateful for stability.
The doctor did say that if that happens again that I could message her office and perhaps hold the Ibrance for a bit to help recover from the cold. She didn't even wait for my blood results. I probably saw her for five minutes. I think she is a good person and physician, they just don't know or care about you (every time I go in there they think that I am on Zometa, which I have declined for now). She seemed very rushed to get to her next appointment. I don't know what I expected but it is so depressing to feel unimportant. Luckily, I have a very good MD ND that I can take my complaints to re side effects. I just wish our system was better. I'm in the US and I know that we have access to things others don't. Just voicing my frustration and wishing that things could be more personal.
Has it spread or is just a bad back? 
Rib pain and eyebrows !!
Stage 4 breast cancer/hairloss
How do I get my head round this?
