Am I stubborn

[MarieMc]

My Doctor is furious at the wording but I only got to see the govt Doctor's report 10 days after & can't stop laughing. 

Marie's situation is challenging.  She has what has remained a stubbornly localised high risk, high grade breast Cancer tumor for over 12 months now (actually over 14 months since diagnosis) & is essentially asymptomatic.  

I always thought localised meant had not spread.  I definitely have lymph node that was 100% cancer cells when diagnosed. 

Naughty naughty me.  My Doctor said what does he want you lying on a trolley screaming in pain.  

Sorry because I know so many of you do have very painful terrible experience & having refused surgery seems to add to my sins.  Am starting the hard road now & my Breast Cancer Specialist says 3 to 6 months.  Apparently my breast growing 2 inches in circumference since April means nothing to this Gov 😡😡

I’m so sorry Marie…the one saving grace in all I’ve gone through is a pain management team that has been incredible they truely changed the quality of my life, I don’t understand they can allow someone to go through this

Thanks Felicity but I am not in heaps of pain & that seemed to offend the Doctor that I could have  such a bad cancer from diagnosis 15 months ago Stage 3 lymph fully involved & no real pain.  Pain just started last Friday night think part inside breast & part because the breast has got so BIG & still growing pulling on everything.  Thanks & take care 😊

Sorry I seem to have posted badly Doctor  was offended because with really bad cancer I do not have pain.  Only started with pain last Friday night so just taking it easy.  Probably another tumor within breast as it is growing so rapidly & texture has changed.  Have had really good run & if on downhill run now it's OK.  Specialist thought 3 to 6 months left.
