the hurdles we face are enough without this crap

it now appears there is a risk that I will not be able to have my mastectomy as I am in a wheelchair!!!! read these two links which are in our local paper today. You would all know the various, and sometimes all at once, feelings, thoughts and moods you go through, especially in the first couple of weeks of diagnosis. After I saw the surgeon and found out was to have a mastectomy, it almost took away the anxiety, I wont say I felt great about the whole idea and Im sure, as it probably is for all of you, that it may be a hard adjustment at  first. But the anxiety of not knowing had been relieved a little. Until this, see these links and read on. I hope that are shamed into doing something about it, often going so public is the only way to get anywhere, as embarrassing as it was/is

  • Don't worry yourself, its up to everyone else to figure something out. I bet if the building was on fire they would pick you up and haul you out without a second thought. Let them whinge about it but they will come up with some solution.
  • Go get 'em Bev! What bullshit! What are the ambos meant to do while you are having the scan? Stand around doing the crosswords? You can bet that if they got called away while you were still getting processed, the staff at this charming private clinic would find some way of getting you back in your chair lest you slow down the flow of funds.

     Can't comment on individual cases my arse; if you were heaping praise on them they'd be commenting their pirate hearts out. Marg.

    Always good to get informed before making any decisions. I hope that you get sorted soon. It must be a really anxious time for you. Cheers, Trace xx
  • I hope the articles result in a better option for you Bev.
