I have not written here for a while and I know our friends and family living miles away will be wandering what's going on. Well, Cancer it seems is a big waiting 'game'. Alot of the stress is caused by just not knowing what is going to happen, or when. Waiting, waiting, waiting for intravenous drips to finish or scan results revealed. Appointments with surgeons cancelled, waiting to hear when the next appointnment will be - all totally out of your own control. It is so maddingly frustrating!
Hubby sailed through the 3 cycles of chemo. Yes, he felt a bit nauseaus most of the time and a bit tired but it didn't stopping eating 3 meals a day or continuing to work. MRI scan was performed last Thursday but we have to wait a week before the Oncologist can meet with us to discuss the results. Hubby tried to squeeze any info out of the technician but he was having none of it. So a week of nervous anxiety (on both our parts) waiting for next Thursday.
In the meantime, the appointment with the Liverpool surgeon who would be performing the NHS operation has been postponed - no reason, no new date as yet. There can only be a certain lag of time between the last of the chemo cycles and the operation so, if we stick with the NHS, then it will probably mean at least another unnecessary cycle of chemo.
So, we will wait patiently until we see the Oncologist in 3 days time and if we are not happy with how we see this process progressing then it's bye bye NHS. There's only so much you can take...
