I didn't feel my doctor would take my side effects seriously. I didn't feel comfortable talking about sexual issues with my doctor. I felt embarrassed talking about my gastrointestinal issues.I'm afraid to ask frankly about my prognosis. Other: write as much as you feel comfortable sharing below.

I have never been afraid to ask my doctor anything. If that is the case, it is time to find a new doctor. My oncologist welcomes questions and coordinates my treatment with an oncologist at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. If they don't agree, I don't agree to a new or change in treatment. Having knowledge about my disease has helped me to manage it very well.
