Hi!
I was diagnosed with grade 1 breast cancer at the end of July. At the beginning of October I had my lumpectomy and sentinel nose biopsy. Just over 4 weeks have now passed and I haven't heard anything from the hospital, even after having rang them twice for more information regarding my follow-up appointment. I suffer from depression and the waiting is getting me down and I feel lost. My husband and family and friends are being so supportive - which is great and I love them all dearly, it just doesn't get me answers.
I know I'm not the only one feeling this way and there are others out their feeling like me - but how do you cope? Am I being a pest for ringing the hospital to find out what's going on?
Thanks for listening...
Karen
Hi Karen welcome to the forum and i so very sorry to hear what is happening for you. In answer to your query are you being a pest to keep phoning? Most definetely NOT and keep pestering the life out of them until you get some answers. That does seem a little longer than would have bene expected for results to have come back so you are right to chase this and please do let us know how you get on.
