Hi Spiritlove,

I have only just come across your post.

I hope that you have a clearer view of your treatment plan after your discussion with Oncology. As I'm sure you have now discovered, treatment usually doesn't start immediately. Do you have someone who can look after your son, when you need to attend for your treatment? This must make things quite complicated for you.

This is a stressful enough time for you, without these additional worries. I hope that you discussed this with your Oncologist and that your care team can take this into account, in any future communication.

Kind regards,

Hey there,

At my first oncology appointment they explained what treatment I would need, I started chemo a few weeks later, you will need bloods 48hrs prior to chemo, on my first chemo appointment they gave me all my dates for future cycles so hopefully yrs will bee the same, my ist chemo app was longer than the rest will be...hopefully they will give you all yr dates so you can plan...my 2nd chemo is 5th May and they have said it will take 3-4 hours, timing all depends on if your having the cold cap,I chose not to...

Hope you get all the info you need

How did your first oncology appointment go?  Mine is next week (after diagnosis confirmed last week) and I'm wondering how much detail we will go through.
