Feeling very low today .... I would like to tell you about my experience with my last breast cancer clinic appointment last week just to know if I am feeling sorry for myself and if anyone else have had the same experience.
Diagnosed with breast cancer in December (waited 8 weeks for an appointment) tumour in left breast found more in the right breast and lymph node. Put on Letrozole in December 21 to shrink the tumours. Had a 3 month appointment last week... the clinic was so busy my consultant seemed agitated when he was informed I was waiting, he checked my notes asked if I thought the tumour has gone smaller ... confirmed this, I asked when my surgery date is he shrugged his shoulders stating a meeting on Friday he will ask this question. Telephoned the breast nurse on Monday who confirmed that the Surgeon was off on Friday will speak about it this Friday......... they only have one surgeon at the moment. I feel I am an out cast being ignored due to the volume off patients coming through their doors I Just Want This Cancer out of me!..........Not concerned about how big the lumpectomy will leave on my breast I just want rid of this disease. Does anyone know if I can go to another breast clinic for a second opinion on the n h s?
