I really decided today that I dont like my oncologist. Ive always referred to him as dr. Doom. Hes very straight forward and blunt, not much of an optimist. Im so glad he told me today that he was leaving and I would have a new doctor at my next appointment in March. I know survival stats are low for ovarian cancer but did he really have to put an expiration date on my head today? All was good but he didnt hesitate to remind me I might live 5 years. :( I was so deflated after that today. I choose to get through this one day at a time, not live with an expiration date looming over my head. Many women dont survive ovarian cancer but many do survive it for years. Treatments have come along way and there are new ones about 3-5 years away that are not chemo based and not so toxic but potentially far more effective. Im feeling better all the time and I intend to move forward and live.
