The reason they want me to wait is to be sure my liver can process herception/chemo. As you know, it's your liver that does all the cleaning and processing of everything that goes into your body, and half of mine is gone. They need to be sure it can handle the toxic chemo drugs before they give them to me.
My surgeon wanted to see me three weeks post-hospitalization, and I'm right on track, it's almost exact. And, my onc wants me to see the surgeon first as he's the one who will know about the liver. I see the onc 6 days later so there is no real delay.
Unfortunately, this is the time constraints necessary, and they medically can't be rushed. But they still make me very nervous. I want my chemo!!!
By the way, the one thing you never have to worry about me is passivity, lol.
I am still thinking about that bracelet. A constant reminder of my healthy state would be great. If anybody has other ideas, I'm all ears.
