I found my 6lb. tumor, dr treated me for constipation 4 months, ca125 was 4700 stage 1, 11/1/05 hysterectomy & appendix removed, 3 rounds carbo/taxol, back 10/01/06 6 rounds carbo taxol, back 10/01/07 now doing 6 rounds doxil, is this the way my life will be from now on ? My oncologist, gynecologist surgeon, is way too busy , I have asked him several times about hormone replacement therapy, (do you know anything about that?) clinical trials etc he just flat out says they don't work. He has 2 offices and really could care less about me unless i am doing chemo, when he examines me he spends about 3 minutes, there is no one else to go to around here. i am really tired of not getting phone calls returned and the apathy he shows, when he 1st saw me he said "if you were my wife this is the treatment i would give" I often think if he would have done his job better maybe the tumor which was suposed to be Encapsulated would not have leaked into my fluid system and i could have been cured 1st time out,remember i am only stage 1, what do you think about all this?
