Just because I hate getting down-voted with no replies, I figured I'd break it down for you.
>Who says "cancer doctor"? I thought they were called oncologists.
Honestly, so what? Besides, he uses the term oncologist frequently in the article, it's not like he doesn't know...
>He sure doesn't mind blogging about it for the whole internet to read though.
He avoids it as a topic of small talk because of how unusually heavy a topic it is. Besides, now he can direct friends and family to the blog post and avoid multiple variations of the same difficult conversation.
>Doctors can take that route too.
And he does, more or less... what on Earth was your point? The whole anecdote was actually off-topic and confusing. Are you trying to insinuate that the author isn't professional and/or emotionally tough enough? It comes off that way.
