My oncologist, I must say he's a gruffly old bear, but I love him. Because he's our age an he just knew how to lay things out and finally I said to him, "Well you know, if it were your wife, what would you do?" Because I was damned tired of them telling me I could make up my mind. And it was a young woman oncologist who really made the first recommendation. So I find so much support from the young women doctors, and appreciate so much their expertise, but occasionally, I don't mind having a man who really knows what he's doing either. So it's not strictly a gender issue, I guess in that sense because I'm sure different people react differently to each other in how you end up with a happy, supportive team. |
