More sadness....
Today as I was about to pick up my daughter from her first day of high school, my oncologist calls..."I need to speak to you Celeste..do you have anyone with you right now? Can you sit down please......

I've been thinking of you all day. I hope the cyber messages here are at least warming you.
The diagnosis we get is devastaing. Another diagnosis is overwhelming. How much bad news can we girls cope with. Lots it seems!!! Too much! I recall being misdignosied with secondaries in my liver.... which turned out to be something completly benign. 3 weeks of hell and howling tears thinking I was inoperable and destined for palliative treatment.. I had a PET scan wich clarified the dignosis and put the doc back on the right track. I was extremely lucky to have such a wierd and very unusual liver condition. But all the delays meant that they had to hit me with very hard and fast chemo.
I know it is easy to get angry when docs get it wrong... but I have found that theyr really do try to get it right.Vent your anger... but do not let it get take hold of you.
I read a book by Dr Seuss.. was given it by a friend... "the Places You Go" I is a great read... it will make you howl... Available in the kids book section.
Best wishes, Fiona
