Is there an oncologist on Fluther?

Asked by flo (13313points) March 7th, 2019

I thought I read someone’s post that read like he/she is an oncologist. So, is there one?

I’m thinking no.
We have had several cancer conversations here, and when diagnosed, or close to someone who is diagnosed, those conversations can seem pretty technical.

Caravan is a doctor and is the one who recently stated he’d helped cure some people with cancer. He’s a good guy.

Even if there was an oncologist, there are so many variables when someone has cancer, for example types of cancer, types of tumors, test, test results, treatments, medications, etc. It’s not like A+B=C.

Ok. The post didn’t use quote marks or post a link, and so it sounded like it came directly from an oncologist.

@KNOWITALL I’m not an oncologist. I’ve just surgically removed cancers, but I do not prescribe chemotherapy and know next to nothing about it. But thanks for the compliment, though.

As a person that is going through cancer right now…. Please do not listen to a person on the internet that says they are a oncologist. They might be but there is a lot more to it than what can be done over the internet. I have 100K in bills to prove it.
