Sigrid ... You must remember you are the consumer in all of this; you pay the doctor and it is your right to have things checked out as you see fit. I doubt there is a one of us on this board who hasn't felt like a hypochondraic at some point or another during this whole process. So many medical things happening all at once and so quickly. After my surgery and treatments were completed I spent what seemed to be A LOT of time at my ENT's office concerned about one thing or another. Finally he said to me "Donna, you cannot come in here for every little thing you're finding wrong." And I was kinda taken a back by that statement but only for a moment. Then I asked him "if someone cut off your tongue and you just endured the treatment I did, wouldn't you be just a tad bit concerned over the continuing changes in your body?" Our conversation was taken in the manner intended, but I got my point accross as did he. I didn't run to the ENT so quickly after that conversation but rest assured I still ran when I was really questioning something and I didn't feel a bit bad about it either. We are our own best advocates! Hang in there, Sigrid! Sincerely, Donna
