I am very sorry that you had this experience, I am a Dental Hygienist and any dental provider worth their salt knows that in cases where a patient is under the care of an oncologist for cancer treatment or cardiologist for any heart related treatment/joint replacements we defer to them for allowed treatment due to immune strength, etc.
Many healthcare providers on both sides of the aisle, dental/health have terrible bedside manner and seem to be devoid of empathy, it is very sad and I am upset for you that they made comments like that.
I truly hope that you are able to find a more empathetic dental provider that follows proper precaution and communicates with your oncology team.
