Hello,
I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in late October, and was given a treatment plan of weekly chemotherapy followed by mastectomy, and potentially radiotherapy afterwards. This all came as a bit of a shock as I had just turned 25 with no family history of breast cancer.
I started chemotherapy two weeks ago but don’t have any firm dates for my next appointments. When I speak to the nurses at the hospital they say I’m on a waiting list and they will try and fit me in last minute if there are cancellations. However, they also said there were 37 people on the pending list for a chemotherapy appointment last Friday so I’m not feeling very hopeful!
Is it normal to always be ‘pending’ my next appointment once I’ve already started treatment. As my chemo is meant to be weekly I’m worried what will happen if they can’t fit me in. The constant wait for an appointment each week is quite stressful and has also caused issues for my work as I don’t know when I’ll be suddenly asked to drop everything and drive to the hospital.
