Doctor Vacations

I have not had time for myself since my first cancer in 2002. It is now 2024, I am currently being tested for what will be cancer 7 and I finally got tired of always seeing doctors about 3 years ago. Every year I go to Florida for a vacation and stay with my cousin for at least a month. Many of those years I have also had to go to doctors to satisfy the doctors a home. Two years ago I decided the world will not come to an end if I don't "doctor up." It was my 3rd breast cancer and the mastectomy just had to wait. I was surprised when the oncologist agreed! So often I get the "Now. Right Now. Right this minute." attitude from doctors who I realize are only trying to take good care of me. My cardiologist came up with a great solution!! As long as I am down there for so long, he wants me to see a GP - in case something happens. It is the only doctor appointment or test I have for a whole month to 6 weeks and it very much reinvigorates me. I come back feeling like I can handle everything all over again!
