Michele,

I hope Suzanne posts a response, but a quick look at her post and signature line tell me that she went to Sloan after treatments for a follow up in January. Looks like she had additional pain and wanted it checked out. Later in Jan, an MRI came out negative and in Feb. a Biopsy was also negative.

Having said that, I don't think she talked with a doctor that had a great bedside manner. Those of us that have been treated for cancer are hyper aware of our bodies after going through the fights we have. When we feel discomfort of any kind we want definitive answers pronto. Some doctors just don't get that.
