Me And My Cancer Adventure

Status
Not open for further replies.
Got a call from my oncologist secretary. The Montreal hospital wants me to go through a series of extensive X-rays (Taco, IMR, cat scan, etc.) to see if I have cancer elsewhere. If I do have some elsewhere, this project goes down the drain. I have to wait for the call for an appt. in radiology - could be another 10 days. Like I've got nothing else to do ... bit of frustration. Will change my frog avatar.

SOOOOOO another wait, and more patience to find. I think that Montreal finds that I've been waiting a long time 3 months since my surgery with no conventional treatment whatsoever. So they are not taking any chances with me.
 
You may know this already but I wanted you to know this is standard procedure. The looking for "co-morbidities". It was really hard for me, knowing I already had one problem and worried about undiscovered issues.

I don't usually pretend I know what others feel but I think it is safe to say you have SO MUCH love and support coming your way from members here. I am sending well wishes your way!!!!!

Thank you ISH, I know it's normal to do those research things, but like one nurse told me at emergency, it isn't normal that I was waiting so long (that time it was 5 weeks) and when she called the oncology dept. they found a place for me saying that they had tried calling me that day... when I got home, there was no one that had called ... I have caller ID. This kind of triggered me to what I had lived that caused the PTSD. All those lies to protect themselves and the money. Well it's been 3 months since my surgery, 2 months since my prescription for chemo was recieved ! and almost 1 month since I say the oncologist who gave me the powerpacked news. It's getting to me because my family is starting to get rilled up as I'm not the first cancer patient they know and they all find it abnormal this long wait. Everyone is getting impatient ! I don't want to add to all that, and this is the only place where I feel safe enough to vent out my frustrations and anger. I need to keep an equilibrium in my family.
 
Thank you ((((Deb)))), I'm trying to keep it, but right now I feel like I'm jerked up on some tight rope over a never ending cliff. I know that the negative emortions are not good for my body especially at a cellular level. I feel so fragile right now ...
