My sister went to the dr., and told her about my having breast cancer. She must have also told her that I wasn't going to do chemo because her doctor suggested that I see this very highly recommended dr.....Dr. Stram!!!!! Apparently, she did her residency with him. When my sister saw me post on fb that I had an appointment, she was floored. Oh, and I forgot to mention - Cindy told me that he LOVES Rockport!!! So it seems that this is definately meant to be.
Tonight I went to the gallery for the pre-opening show, and to drop off my new paintings. There is a dr. that has purchased a few of my paintings, and she was kind enough to recommend a chemo doc for me. However, he didn't have an appt. till mid November, so I ended up going to the two other docs that were recommended. I told her I wasn't going to do chemo, and she gave me that look, and said "I know.....I heard" I could hear the disapproval in her voice, but she wished me well. She is actually a cancer surgeon - I think liver or pancreas.....so she deals with this everyday. I totally understand her views and why she has them. I know it will be a long time before I can reassure people that I've done the right thing, but I'll look forward to that day. Not because I want to be right - but because I want people to see that there is another way.
