You Know What I Don't Get?

You know what I don't get?  I don't get why....with all the doctors and nurses we seem to have....Oncologist A, Oncologist B, Primary Care Guy, Nurses Here and Nurses There....why doesn't anyone ever say "how are you doing emotionally?  Is everything O.K?  Do you need to talk to somebody?  Do you want a magic pill?  Do you need help figuring out how to get your kids through all this crap?

You know, among all the blood tests, the infusions, the pills, the scans, the injections, the questions about pain and peeing, etc.......why doesn't anyone ever say "How are  you doing?  Are you hanging in there?"

Of course why do I bother wondering because if someone asked Ernie that he'd just say he was fine.....
