Well I have got an appointment for my MRI results, next Wednesday. I know the last CT scan showed something on the liver, so am prepared for more spread. My onc has suggested we do not go down the chemo route, just stop the tamoxifen and go on to fasolex. Currently I am not at work, picked up the dreaded lurgy from the kids, have spent one week in bed and this last week coughing like billy-oh. Got a sicknote so am not in work next week either. A nice long christmas holiday for me!
But at the minute I have to admit to feeling a trifle miffed and I actually feel mifed at being mifffed if you can understand my drift. Since missing my cancer diagnosis my gps seem to fall over themselves to be of help. Sicknote no problem how long for? Cannot get hold of the drug you need, let's search for an alternative. My husband needs his knee seeing to...our PCT has stopped knee surgery at the minute, ok we will try the physio route. appointment made for less than a week after his gp appt. He has a dodgy blood test result let's get him tested for everything.
I don't begrudge my husband any of this I just wish the gps were more on the ball when I went and that they had bothered to check out my symptoms. It might not have made a difference to my outcome, but I will never know .
Okay so I have been a bit miffed, roll up the miffiness and pack it away. I have got to get on with living the life I have left. And I intend living it well, once I have got rid of the dreaded lurgy!
Love to all xx
