1回目のセカンドオピニオンには、母がついてきてくれた
私は性格上、ちゃんと説明されて納得できないと気が済まない、自分の身体に起こることは自分で知りたいタイプの人
別にお医者さんが嘘ついてると思ってるわけじゃないけど、乳がんの実績豊富な大きな大学病院の主治医だからって、素直に先生の言う通り、なんてできない
セカンドオピニオンは、自分が気になった質問を準備し、面談中に潰し込んでいった
母は母らしく、娘は治るのか、と言う漠然とした質問をしていた
My mother accompanied me for the second opinion for my first surgery
Me being me, I needed to know and understand what was going on with my one and only body. I needed to be the one making the decision for it.
It's not that I didn't trust my doctor.
But just because he was a doctor from a renowned hospital that handled many breast cancer patients, it didn't me I trusted him unconditionally
I took a list of questions with me and made sure I asked the doctor everything I needed to know to make a decision
My mother on the other hand, bless her, was asking whether her daughter would be alright
