Well follow up appointment with oncologist to see how the infection was clearing up yesterday, Appointment was for 9.30 so mum picked me up in good time due to the snow and off we went. Had to wait for a long time and then the nurse called my name and off I went, she then proceeded to weigh me which did confuse me a little and the asked about taking blood. Why I asked and she explained that it was the normal procedure when you have treatment. I explained that I was only here to find out if I needed another course of antibiotics and she explained that I was starting treatment. Stalemate was reached and after a while of nice arguing she conceded that maybe I was right but they had all the stuff needed to start (Iassumed by this they meant the chemo).
Eventually got to see the oncologist and his opening line is "so today we start treatment".....had I just stepped into the twilight zone. So again I explained that I was only here to find out if the infection was clearing up, "what infection" he asked, "the one you gave me antibiotics for last week" I replied and suddenly he remembered......So quick check of my scar and all is going well, "it all looks good so treatment can start on 4th Oct" he says, nice of him to remember my birthday but when I pointed out it might be a bit too far away he just laughed and said I was playing with him. Confusion eventually cleared up and chemo due to start 4th Jan...has this little episode instilled me with confidence...eh no.
Hope everyone has a fantastic christmas and New Year
take care love Terri xxx
