Darn doctors sure can make you a nervous wreck so easily. I think since we have OCF that we are all very knowledgable about OC which makes us more aware of their terms. As patients, we are able to speak up for ourselves and get the proper care and treatments. You are so right on target about the mental aspect of cancer being so difficult.
