>> Believe me it isn't just the blone women that get the bad rap. It is women in general! I never felt so put down as I did today. That doctor made me feel like all the the problems that I am experiencing were either in my head or brought on by myself. God how I hate that. Now I do realize that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but how else are we suppose to learn anything if we don't do some research when it comes to our bodies?

When I go in for a check up (well woman exam) the doctor always askes me if I do my monthly breast exams, I say heck yes, I do them everyday when I am in the shower. I mean for pete 's sake you have to wash them anyway:) There is a great risk of cancer in my family on both sides and I will not take that risk of not knowing every inch of my body.

Anyway, I will keep everyone posted on what the doctor says tomorrow and when I see the new guy at Loma Linda!!! I will keep seeing doctors until I get one of them to listen to me darnit.
