Fast track referral by my GP excellent. Chest x-ray, hospital consultant, lung biopsy, scans x 3, consultant for explanations and "next steps" Chemo - Pemetrexed and Carboplatin. Given lots of helpful booklets by The Haematology and Oncology Day Unit (HODU) About to go onto maintenance but blood test said no so waiting to see consultant. Clinical nurse specialist phoned to say she will rearrange things for me and let me know Seems I have a week off
Hi Gardener W welcome to the group but sorry you find yourself here. I am sorry to hear about the hiccup with the maintenance chemo, but great to hear you got through the treatment to this point. It may feel good to have a week off! Hopefully you get to see the consultant soon. Please let us know how you get on.
