Just got the go-ahead to go in for my next round of chemo tomorrow. Oh joy.....
I swear these docs are driving me crazy tho. They tell me I have Pneumonia, then never call me to schedule a follow up...I end up calling them to do that. So they say come on in and we'll do a chest X-ray. they had me tentatively scheduled to start chemo on Tuesday, and here we are Monday morning and I have heard nothing. After repeated calls this morning, I talk to one of the docs who works with my primary Onc, and she is acting as a go-between. She says the Xray shows some improvement(in the pneumonia), and she thinks we can go ahead, but she want to get my Onc to look at the X-ray and will call me back. Keep in mind, it's 10 O'clock on Monday, and I'm set for chemo on Tuesday morning and need to be taking my start up drug doses NOW if we are going to go forward with treatment. So then I get a call back, and the word from my Onc is "if I am feeling better, we can go ahead".
If I'm feeling better? I was feeling OK the whole damned time. YOU guys are the ones telling me I have pneumonia. I never believed it or felt like that was the case! Other than coughing up a little clear mucus in the mornings, I'm feeling good. Haven't had a fever or anything else. And now you are basically leaving the call up to ME? W T F ????
So, I said let's go ahead and get the show on the road. By Thurs, or definitely Friday, I will be vising HELL again.
