I met my Oncologist last week after seeing my Breast Consultant. He seems a nice man. I am going to have a Portacath and I have signed a form to consent for a wig company to get in touch. I really thought that as I was recovering from the wound infection there would be no chance of my chemo starting before Christmas............... I was stupid, he wants to get one in before.
This week I have made an appointment to have my Mirena Coil removed, have a flu jab and a wig fitting. I was actually feeling like I was taking back a bit of control. I am also feeling like I am recovering from the two operations and wound infection, not fully but feeling better! Now I am to have day surgery for the Portacath to be inserted next Wednesday and then see the oncologist on Thursday. The Chemo is looming nearer and nearer and I am not ready........I will never be ready! But I do feel I could physically be a bit better. I really did not think that they would get their act together to start my treatment before Christmas.
