Spencer and irony

[Lernermichelle]

Nina, I woke up this morning thinking how ironic it is that the internist does not want to try chemo without a definitive diagnosis but wanted to pts without one. If it is cancer it is lymphoma, given where it is and how it responds to steroids. If she thinks it could be something other than cancer, then why did she want to pts without further diagnostic tests first?  There is something really wrong with that picture.  I don't think it's just here, I think it's lots of vets.  They find it more ok to pts than to treat in any way that is not completely by the book.   Michelle
