Re: Felling so alone . . .

Agness, I'm so sorry your cancer has progress so far, so fast. You're in my prayers.
Thank you for being a strong advocate for the best treatment. I have a great deal to learn. The 20 questions for my oncologist is very helpful!
I had 3 weeks between my original mammo & the call-back mammo & ultrasound. (That was a mistake, but I knew many call-backs were unnecessary, never really thought I had cancer, so I didn't push for an earlier date or go to a different testing facility. I didn't have a gyn to consult b/c mine had retired a few months ago). I hate that I wasted 3 weeks! I tried to research, but was overwhelmed b/c I had no idea what I was looking for! I stayed off the internet for awhile & then focused on Christmas. I look back & think, 'what the heck was I doing with my time!'
I went to all of my appts with a new page of questions each time - I just didn't have the RIGHT questions! Each time, my husband & daughters & I felt confident with my team.
Thank you for putting up with me, I'm sure I caused some frustration!
Peg
