when to start freaking out

Hi ladies, I still don't know the status of filling the tykerb and xeloda and co-pay assistance and all of that. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since I had any kind of treatment. Should I worry that the cancer is going to just take over and it will be too late to start the drugs? Since Friday night I've had a lot of abdominal pain and tenderness and it worries me. I'm to get a CT today to check this stuff out-just waiting on a call with the time. I tried following up with the second specialty pharmacy that called me Friday-not sure why or how that happened. But I got transferred around and was unable to follow up.

Well just curious about your thoughts.
