I am waiting for blood results from the cancer team for a Chemo appointment tomorrow. I am anxious about this and the whole appointment.

I get a call from my surgery I think this will be about a prescription It is the receptionist saying the nurse has asked me to call about my blood results. I am utterly thrown. Your calcium is a bit high, could I make an appointment for a follow up next week and drink more. I tell her I am in fact waiting for a call from the cancer team about my bloods for Chemo tomorrow and now have  lot of questions about what that means for me  So I do say I don't expect her to answer those She is mortified once it sinks in .I am asked twice about making another appointment for next week

To which I say I'm sorry I can't think straight now I'm so stressed and freaked out  I will call back when I know what is going on and I am going to have to go Thanks and goodbye.

It's no-one fault. 

Jeff would be here for me to rant but he can't. He has to deal  with another one with occupational therapy and training for equipment for me 

So putting it here

Putting a hundred quid of monopoly money in the swear jar

  • Bless you  

    treatment is always stressful and I am not surprised this call from the doctors surgery threw you. Glad all is ok for the chemo tomorrow, hope that goes well for you. X

  • Random phone calls from doctors really set nerves up!

    My strategy about chemo is try not to think about it too much as sometimes the blood work is not right so it won’t happen. There is no point worrying about something may not happen anyway.

    if the blood work is good to go then OK let’s get on with it. If not, then great another week off chemo! Either way it is a win for me.
