Christine,
Yes, I am guess I get to relax a bit now and assume the best--it is a very good thing.
Thank you!
It is so hard to start new and rehash. I wouldn't know WHO to see, Christine. There is NO ONE I would trust at all in this town. I have heard there is one doctor who is a gyne and he is supposed to be nice. He is not a Urologist and his staff is not nice. So, why walk into that in my own town? I can't go back to my previous doctor because he missed a four-year infection, precancerous cells, and cervical lesion.
I quit my first doctor for being a j*rk. He still has no bedside manners (family members still see him!) and no compassion at ALL. My next doctor decided to rupture a cyst on my ovary...manually...but, he ruptured my ovary instead. He also accused me of not being a virgin because of my hymen being broken and I was 19 (?)--so, he didn't believe me and hurt me physically. Well, I fell on a stupid boy's bike at a young age and I believe that the damage done included my hymen rupturing. I didn't even
date until I was nearly 22! It is IMPOSSIBLE from my experience to lose your virginity without having a boyfriend.
My father took work off for two weeks and carried me to the restroom because I could not walk after what that doctor did to me. I was humiliated and didn't go to the hospital. Did I report him? No...I never went back and I found my next gyne who I saw for YEARS. He mentioned the damage to my ovary but, he is the one who missed the other things. Then, I found this Urologist/Gyne. I really like him. I guess I am scared to try to go elsewhere because I never have success with that and this doctor--whether his staff is being nice or not and whether he told me things or didn't, I feel I have to stay. I am lucky to have found him and that he takes Medicaid. There used to be a doctor about 20 minutes away and he left the town last year. I mentioned that I am stuck.... Trust me--I truly am, Christine.
Your doctor sounds amazing. I am shocked to hear that both you and your husband had cancer! What in the world??? Is he okay now, too? I guess they like to check the vaginal tissues because you can still develop cancer there but, my Mom said the same thing (she had a hysterectomy at 42 because of fibroids)! She told me, "My doctor wants to do a PAP SMEAR...! I am wondering on 'what'?????"
I wish I lived somewhere like Texas for so many reasons anyway--now I have one more reason.
So, again...I wouldn't have a clue where to find another doctor. I have seriously had people recommend the very doctors that I already quit going to! There aren't any other wonderful doctors here. My doctor is really nice. I just don't understand what happened.
