Meeting Oncologist Help

Can I ask

Does everyone fear these meetings with Oncologist?

I've met her last week for the first time with the greatness that the chemo was shrinking the cancer,

Now I have to meet her again next Tuesday,

I'm hoping it's only to decide if they are going to continue with chemo or radiation,

My nerves are totally gone worrying about this,

Can someone please advise me or is this normal procedure?

Please Help,

Angie,x

  • Hello Angie,

    Does it matter Chemo or Radiation?

    Dont loose sight of the good news. At the moment you are winning.

    Try not to worry about the Specialist it is very normal and they want to dscuss the way forward in your case.

    Try to take some one with you to the appointment and have some questions so you know fully about the situation.

    i have had my rare cancer fore 15 years and i am still here but it is normal to be worried as it is only human.

    All the best 

    if you need anymore you where i am.

    No it doesn't matter which treatment to be honest,I suppose it's the unknown,

    I know what chemo is like after having 4 treatments, I know nothing about radiation so a bit scared of that,and your right,I should be looking at the good news I got, I don't know where this overwhelming fear and anxiety is coming from but I can't shake it off, I'm very much alone on this journey,your story is brilliant and im so happy for you,well done and we'll done  onyour attitude towards it all, I wish I was as strong as you,I suppose it's still all very new to me,I was diagnosed 3 months ago,thank you for your kind words,
