Hello everyone,

How are you today? 😊

As you know, a good relationship between the patient and her doctors is important to better manage metastatic breast cancer. Please, share your story with doctors!

To what extent do you (or the patient) feel comfortable with your (or the patient’s) doctors?
How satisfied are you (or the patient) regarding your (or the patient’s) communication with doctors?
Which topics do you (or the patient) discuss with your (or the patient’s) doctors?

Feel free to share your experience with us here!

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity Team

Hi everyone,

How are you doing today?

Let's get this conversation started!

@Janetmaday @jeangilmorej @patches678 @Millinda48

What is your relationship with your doctor? Are you satisfied with your care? Do you trust them? How is the communication? What do you discuss?

Take care,

Lizzi

Hi @LizziB

I had a great team of doctors, I could not be happier with them. We had a great relationship, I trusted them, I felt like they were always honest with me and straightforward. My doctor even gave me her cell number which settled my nerves at the beginning, knowing I could text was calming. They have been really helpful when I talk about planning the future.

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
