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

    Hi lilyange

    I had to see the oncologist (or someone from his team) before every chemo session. I had my treatment every 3 weeks so the day before went for blood tests and visit. They do keep a check on you throughout the treatment.

    I used to write any questions down as soon as they came to me plus a diary of how I was feeling physically and mentally every day. Took this to my appointment so I had everything written down. It was a great help. Don't worry about asking things.

    All the best River
