Oncology in the bush.
so I have completed the axillary clearence and hopefully will get the drain out tomorrow. The oncology dept just rang and I have my first appointment at Orange base with Dr Lauren Bradbury on the 5/03...
jan61 Meltdowns are very ok! The very fact of being diagnosed triggers considerable stress - recognise it for what it is, ie, a normal response. Isn't this discussion list gold? Make sure you take someone with you to all appointments - i have a friend who is very calm, doesn't miss anything and asks for clarification when I don't even know I need it. I agree with mmakm - you will feel better when you have more information and there's a plan in place. Hugs,x Beryl C.
