Kristen, I agree with Cheryl. Although it seems incredibly scary, you need to be incredibly brave. I hope you have people around you who are supportive. Without question you have a whole family here and we'll do everything we can to help. Doctors should be sensitive to the fact that you might prefer one partner over another, even another practice altogether. If they aren't, those aren't the doctors for you. You really want to be comfortable with all of your oncologists, so please stick to your guns if one is not making you feel welcomed and cared for.

Let us know how it goes next week.

Courage!
