Tailbone & Person Space Tales

Has anyone had a tailbone growth? I noticed it was getting harder to sit on a hard surface and walking was not as natural as before my 2nd cancer diagnosis. So I bought memory foam pillows for the car and dinner table chair. I felt that it is bent and wider than usual. I'm due for another scan however, this tailbone growth started before my last scan. My Cyberknife radiologist doctor didn't seem to be concerned with growths that weren't breast or pelvis related. I have caller bone, rib arch and tailbone growths. Anyone else dealing with tailbone issues? I start with my new radiologist after my next scan.

My daughter came to 2 appointments and noticed the prior radiologist was in my personal space (just inches away from my face) which made me ill at ease. I was in a chair and against the wall so I could not back away any further. The next visit, my daughter wasn't there and he asked to see my painful breast. I asked him where he got that idea. He said the nurse. I replied that the nurse and I never discussed a painful breast. I told my daughter and she thought he was also weird. So I asked for a different radiologist. Don't ever be afraid to change doctors if you don't feel right. And, I hope this never has to happen to you!

My best to you all with hopes of a safe journey, -Goldenhair

Good for you, trusting your gut and protecting your personal space!! There are strange, maybe even malevolent people in the world and some of them *do* become doctors!
