This week I started with a new therapist. Before I explain what I want opinions on, keep in mind that I found out end of July that I have Squamous Cell Carcinoma, which is an aggressive form of skin cancer. The doctor thinks it was caught early enough that it didn't get into my blood stream or elsewhere but they're going to do a head-to-toe exam and re-biopsy the area in November.

Back to the therapist... she wanted to know what other health issues I've had and ended up telling her this because between the cancer diagnosis and the only grandfather I've ever known passing away, it contributed to my being in the state I'm in now. She (the therapist) immediately launched into a 5 minute information overload on how we'll be discussing "proper" vegetables and fruits with supplemental vitamins to purify my body and rid itself of cancer. She seemed almost aggressive in this talk and for some reason it really put me off. I'm sort of dreading having to talk with her later about this because I don't do so well with people who come across as authoritative without education to back it up. They come across to my like used cars salesmen almost, do you know what I mean?
