I have my oncologist's personal cell number. He does not text. My
personal physician has given me his personal cell phone number and we do
text.

I am very lucky to have such caring physicians and I know, full well,
that this kind of relationship would not be possible in any other part
of the country. This is why I love my home so much.
==================================================

I've been dealing with breast cancer since April and have my surgeons cell
#, and he does call me and text. Same with the visiting nurse. My GP does
call me personally, with the oncologist I go through the office but have
never had a problem. This is in suburban Philly and a very large hospital
system so it's not just Texas!

Thanks all. The last surgery has been a bitch to recover from but no chemo,
no radiation, just medication, I'm very happy about that!

Sorry to hear about your health issues, but I am glad you are able to
contact your physician and your visiting nurse whenever you need them.
Stay strong and fight the good fight.

When I called about my phone service sucking. The lady said her name
was Ophelia... I mentioned about Hamlet and Shakespeare while making
small talk, and she said she had never heard of an Ophelia in Hamlet.
But will look it up someday.
