Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 in Denver You're entitled to your questions and rambling -- for heaven's sake they made you wait ---3WEEKS... in any case just want you to know when doctors are this busy they usually have great nurses that you can tap into at their offices -- utilize them and most of the time they can explain things better thatn the doctor -- most of the time they make more sense than the doctor telling you the plan -- they speak to fast sometimes - dont forget your tape recorder just in case you miss something... again tap into his nurses thy're a gem.

I have come to the conclusion that the fear is much worse than the disease, and inaccessible dr's only add to the fear. I know that I can face whatever treatments lie ahead but I cannot stand to be both afraid and in the dark about what lies ahead. Because of all the waiting I have pages and pages of questions so hopefully I will have a patient and understanding onc. If I don't I know for sure that I will have to wait forever but will have to find one that is. Forgive all the ratteling on and I know that I don't make much sense but the fear and nerves are doing my typing. Wish me luck and say a little prayer for me. in Denver --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 My heartfelt apologies for that nurses' shortsighted 'help' - I know that she could've done more because I would've done more, there are more that we can do to alleviate a patients' anxiety justto even hold them until their appointments -- that's a real disappointment for people as such in my profession...i'm very sorry. If its any consolation the members of this group has so much to offer in support,if you have any questions or just to pick our brains you are so welcome or just to keep you in our thoughts and prayers no need to ask because we are doing that already we may not have faces with our names but know that you are being thought of and all our arms go around you for support. Again, I wished that nurse could've reached out to you more...MJrn sewmary28 wrote: > I finally get to see an oncologist after three weeks of waiting. I > am so nervous I can hardly stand myself.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi , My heart goes out to you - waiting is the absolute worst. Would you consider taking some anti-anxiety meds to help you get through the wait/and/worry time? I'm sure your doctor would be glad to prescribe them.
