I'm a bit miffed. I had a regular follow-up visit with my oncologist, he checked me over,yada yada, recommended D3 (I'm on arimidex, had ovaries out in January). Upon checking out, the office girl gave me orders for blood work, a dexascan, and a mammogram. I said, are you joking? I have no mammos to gram. She just glared at me funny. If they don't even care to realize that I have no breasts, I'm finding another oncologist.

    Isn't that just SO interesting?! At my first oncologist appointment, post BMX, the nurse told me I'd need to undress from the waist up and put on the cover so the dr could do a breast exam. Really? I said "ok, there won't be much to see and do I need to remove my post surgical binder too?" She apologized and scurried out of the room.

    Sorry I have to share, at my first MO apt. I was sitting with my gown on waiting for my mo to walk in and her nurse came in and asked to see my breasts, so I whipped open my gown and she's looking...left...right and says 'that looks very good' I said ' what? I havnt had any surgery yet!" She also scurried off!
