Hi Kathy,
I remember while I was going through chemo and the waiting that was involved EVERYTIME. However, that being said................although, yes, I wished I could have gotten in and out of their.............there were always reasons for the waiting. Chemo infusions taking longer than planned, finding veins, adverse reactions, and a litany of other reasons why things take longer - doctors being behind - lab results not coming quick enough - etc. etc. etc. I remember one time looking around the waiting room and seeing some real sick people and saying to myself..........."Self, pray for these people around you and be thankful you are doing alright and able to sit out here and wait." It helped me patiently wait (well maybe on the outside anyway ) and it gave me something constructive to do with my time. So I would pray and visit with others who were waiting. We would share with each other and become friends throughout all of our waiting.
Now, as far as the snippy nurse goes..................SHE would have gotten a piece of mind and there is absolutely NO excuse for that.
Hope that helps put it all into a little better perspective for you. Prayers for continued chemo/herceptin success.
Love & hugs,
Mary Jo
