Everything old is new again - unfortunately.

Hi Chris, One only has an oncologist if you are having chemo which, I am fortunately am not. I feel once I have had a few check-ups, I can no longer class my surgeon as part of my team. Physio, what physio my love? One came into the hospital, gave a super quick run down on exercises, left a pamphlet & left! Breast care nurse, have spoken to her only on the phone. So, that leaves my husband & my GP who is draining my super painful seromas. The mere thought of chemo leaves me cold as I had chemo for my bowel cancer only to find I was severely allergic to the 5FU chemo. I have an enzyme deficiency in which my body does not break down the chemo. It ate away part of my insides resulting in a gangrenous gall bladder which had to be removed. The pain was unbelievable. I was rushed into hospital again where they operated to save my life yet again. My gall bladder was removed & I was in intensive care for 3days. Hence, my fear of chemo.
