New Doctor

I had a check up with my new Oncologist today. She was really nice and made me feel really comfortable but it's really weird wearing nothing but a diaper in front of some one you have never met. I even changed just before I went and of course was a bit wet by the time I got in to the exam room. She did the exam and didn't make a bid deal of me being incon. I think next month it won't be a big deal but it felt strange today.

WHAT???? oncologist is a cancer doctor !!!! why would you be in just a diaper for them???? i have had cancer and never had to be seen in just my diaper for it!!!! ever!!!! now my catscan was diffrent for sure but the doc herself didint need to see me in jsut a diaper

I have had cancer twice. This last one is a rather nasty malignant melanoma. They check my body every month for the next six month's then it goes to twice a year and then every year for the remainder. They check all the moles on your body. They check your scalp and the bottoms of your feet. Any where there is skin. Next month they will even check the private bits and between my bum cheeks.

BUmmer sorry to hear that!!!! god luck in your remission of this . sorry it just sounded weird at first with no nowledge of cancer from your post

No Problem. They removed the melanoma and then took a wide margin. Then radiation and they are monitoring for a jump. So god willing it will be ok.

Good to hear nia!!! i know your scared and thats ok to be we all are after something like that. But it does get better and easier to live life to its fullest once again!!!! so diaper up have fun in life and screw what people think about your special undies you wear LOL!!! what do they know in life.

Trust me, I'm sure doctors are aware of incontinence, and never make a big deal of a diapered patient.

That said, we all wish you the best of health and happiness for the future! Glad to hear things are looking up for you, just remember that positive energy plays a big role in recovery!
