2 down, 4 to go
Hi ladies, again, I need to vent. Went to the hospital for 3 appointments yesterday. 8am for my picc to be inserted, had to be there at 7am. All went well and picc was in at 8.30am. Didn't hurt as mu...
Thank you for more hugs. After my post today, I was checking my updated list of appointments that was given to me yesterday. I noticed that my New Years Eve chemo treatment has been changed, It now says I have a 3 hour wait after my oncologist appointment. I decided to ring the cancer care co-ordinator and politely ask why. She said it was New Years Eve and that the person who did this list has a lot of people to squeeze in, well, I tried to stay calm and state that I understood that but as I had an 11 am why have I now got a 2 pm? I then proceeded to tell her how my day went yesterday, and that I'm not prepared to go through that again. She is looking into what happened and agreed it was unacceptable, then offered me a social worker to help with my anxiety. I stated that I'm not a difficult person and I'm not being a princess, I just want some understanding. I feel better for having spoken up and I'm sure I'm feeling unwell this morning due more to the anxiety and not the chemo, or maybe it's both. When I go back this arvo to get my dressing changed, I'm going to put my make-up on that I received at the LGFB and try my best to put my happy face on and keeping working to move forward. Hugs back to you two wonderful ladies, keep well,
