Re: Very nervous
Dear Cool Breeze,
I encourage you to be a pain in the butt and push for what your heart is telling you. Call the Surgeon's office and get on a cancelation list. Explain to them that his inability to see you is slowing down further treatment. You know your body and it sounds like you are doing very well.
Next, call your onc and get an appointment for the day following the appt with the surgeon.
It is OK to fight and be demanding for what you know is best for you.
The ONLY time I haven't pushed the envelope was after my surgery. I really wish I had. So don't have regrets on this.
Sending support and a little encouragement....Lori
