So frustrated and anxious!!!
Hi BC sisters, sorry but please let me vent it out.
I was originally diagnosed BC (between stage 2-3 right breast, had a mastectomy, chemo, and radio) 5 years ago, and 10 days ago I had an annual checkup. The sonographer (very nice girl) found a suspicious thing on my one of lymph nodes near my right side collar bone. She consulted the doctor at the imaging/pathology place and told me that I should be contacted by my oncologist to have biopsy. I waited a couple of days but no contact so I was getting a bit optimistic about it; however, I contacted my oncologist just in case. Turned out (I don't know what happened and who is responsible but), they somehow slipped away my case!!!!
By the time I contacted the imaging/pathology company to book biopsy, they were all booked out so I have to travel further to have biopsy and wait another 10 days.... And my appointment with my oncologist now has to be delayed as well because the result from biopsy will not be on time. Total of 3 weeks I have to wait till I know what is actually going on!!
I know that I live in a regional area (Tasmania) but still feel a bit neglected....
Now I am very anxious and angry. 😖 BC sisters, sorry for complaining but I am frustrated😫
