Hi everyone
Bit of an update. I can't remember if i told you on here that last Wednesday, I rang up my oncologists secretary to ask for an update. She told me they were waiting for the last part of the biopsy sample to come back from the lab, it was late due to the bank holiday, and that she'd book me in as soon as it came in.
Hadnt heard anything since, and even though Ive been fine, I got myself worked up yesterday and rang the oncology nurses phone late on and left a message, the thing is the surgeon and breast care nurse told me the absolute latest id be seen by the oncologist would eb the 19th ( had a previous appointment booked for then)
The nurse rang me this morning to say, they're still waiting for the last result and they can take up to 6 weeks to come back!! I was like, 6 weeks, wtf!!! she said, its been 4 weeks since it was sent so up to 2 left to go, and it could be that it comes back in next few days, and as soon as they do the secretary will book me in asapa and ill be in within a few days. I said to her why wasnt i told six weeks and she couldnt answer, and, to be fair, if four weeks ago you'd told me i'd have to wait six weeks, i'd have done my nut in. Its just i feel like its in there growing and growing and ive not had any treatment, the earliest I'd have epxected to start was late this week or next week - comparing from my experience last year.
I asked if i could have some chemo in the interim until they came in and she said no because you cant have both together - Im waiting to see if i can have immunotherapy, so I do understand if thats how long it takes, thats how long it takes, but they could have told me.
