Lloyd,
Just had a real hassle with my doc's Hep C nurse
last night. Thinkin' about changing docs. (Felica
said she would email a list of docs.) Just because I asked
her about the FIBROSURE test, she told
me "stop reading so much, and stop going into those chat
rooms". This pissed me off sooooo badly and I
said "Listen - I have a life-threatening disease, and
I have the right to do my own research, and I am NOT using
chat rooms"
Boy they really get their nickers in a bunch when anyone
doesn't follow along with their program!!! Then she proceeds
to explain the biopsy procedure to me (she did make one good
point -- FIBROSURE does not detect cancer).
Then she says, "we haven't heard from you -- are doing
the protocol or not?" So I said I would let her know
after I do the biopsy (or FIBROSURE) -- there is NO WAY that
I'm doing it, but just putting her off .
Then she says "well I have to go talk with someone who
is getting ready to start the program for the SEVENTH time.
WHAT? sez I - why would anyone in their right mind
want to do the program seven times? Her answer was
(are you ready for this?) -- "Welcome
to the world of Hepatitis C". I thought to myself,
"and you want me to start on the program? -- you've got
to be out of your cotton pickin' mind". Insensitive b****!!!
She definitely missed the day they taught bedside manner
in school.
Oh, by the way, if you want to post any of my emails, go right
ahead
:-)
Take care, Lloyd!!!

Hi Pat:
If you biopsy primary liver
cancer it starts to spread immediately.
The junior docs do not believe that. The only primary liver
cancer patients that live are ones who do not get a biopsy.
I deal with this on a weekly basis.
Your doctor can take this info and stop killing people.
Alpha feto protein blood test detects primary liver cancer,
so does ultra sound so I do not think your doctor makes much
of a debater.
She is miss informed and is dangerous to her patients health!
Enjoy!
Lloyd
