This week has been lethargic, PET CT Scan, MRI, Blood Test, Dental Checkup and appointment after appointment. One hurdle to cross after another makes me exasperated. I woke up almost 6am every day and meet the doctors and dentist till evening 6pm, the waiting time is a chore and a good book helps just to deal with this Cancer. Seriously, it feels like a full time job except you don’t get paid by how small your tumor will shrink. I keep joking with my friends whom have kids that cancer is nothing compared to the children you are raising at your household.
The hospital mixed up my appointments yesterday, after I finished my Pet CT scan, I got 5 missed call from my oncologist, that’s when I know there is another follow up appointment back to back, at 11am from my PET CT scan which doesn't make sense,
1) I was not even informed on this particular appointment with my oncologist.
2) Mind you, I was still fasting from last night for my PT scan and they surely didn't think of giving me a break.
3) I finished my PET CT at 12pm and the appointment is fixed at 11am?
I pick up the phone from my oncologist department and have my first blow up with the nurse on the phone. I reprimanded why they schedule appointment back to back without buffer and also, why was I not informed on this appointment?
Poor nurse, sucking up my negative energy but the next day, I did have a diplomatic talk with the nurse whom schedules all my appointments. She admitted the miscommunication and apologize I figure I was in the agitated moment and forgive her as she apologise.
