Hi everyone, I thought I was coping pretty well considering the sucky state of my family's health at the moment. But today I've been thrown yet another curve ball. My surgery is on Friday 24 th an...

Well, good news my original appointment has been honoured. All my procedures and surgery are back on Friday 24th.
Get this, when I rang Radiology this morning at the Public Hospital they said I was NEVER booked for the Lymphoscintogram at the Public Hospital!! I just got through explaining to the dude that I have Neuropathy and can't drive, he suggested I go for a nice walk and wait for her call. Are you stupid? I can barely walk to the toilet without stumbling.
Finally in a roundabout way I got put on to the Surgical Services girl who I spoke to yesterday and she nonchalantly told me it's all sorted, I'm back to the original plan.
I said why didn't you call me to let me know? she denied that she told me that she would. Then goes on to say she was there till 6.30pm last night and possibly didn't get around to it? So when / how would I find out?
I rang the Breast Care Co-ordinater, she is still away till mid June, I got on to another breast care nurse (funded by Mc Grath Foundation) and she was wonderful. She gave me the number of a breast care nurse near me and they both encouraged me to write down my account of my BC journey and the stuff ups. She is going to visit me in hospital.
But for now I'm taking today and tomorrow off from the BC nightmare until Friday.
Once again thank you everyone, you will never know how much peace you have given me during this terrible time. Hopefully things will improve after the surgery. <3 <3
