MLC my view on doctors and nurses has changed during treatment. Previously I would go to a doctor, they would diagnose it, give me a pill and that would fix it.

For more complex things like cancer treatment, its like steering a ship. From experience I expect if I turn the wheel this much the ship will do this. But every ship is different, and they have to make course corrections to compensate, its not set and forget. Thats the difference with medical supervision over complex treatments. Don't be alarmed when things happen differently to what you expect. You are closely supervised during treatment and they can make adjustments to the treatment as you go. Make sure you and your husband voice your concerns and the medicos can assess the best course for you as you go.
