First oncology appointment

Less than one minute read time.

I think I am set to be permanently disappointed. I had my first oncology meeting today. It was yet another appointment where I got little information I didn’t already have - nothing specifically tailored to me, and a feeling that they weren’t very well prepared for telling me much at all. It felt like a production line where I was expected to say yes without getting any real answers. They want me to have 4 cycles of EC administered every 3 weeks, then 12 cycles of paclitaxol administered each week. I don’t feel ready to make a decision. The meeting wasn’t helped by the consultant being off with Covid and the registrar not having answers to several of my questions. Not sure where I go from here.
