That's so disheartening. I mean that people have to get news like that over the phone but yeah, I see why it has to be that way, given how expensive time is, how hard it is to make appointments, etc., and what you said about moving quickly on treatment.
But it just seems... I don't know. I think of how it would feel to me, even with a smart, compassionate medical professional who is not my doctor, breaking that kind of news to me. I guess I have been pretty sheltered from knowing these things.
