Confused with appointments

hi everyone 

i wonder if any of you are able to help me.

im due to have 2 lymph nodes removed for testing on Wednesday (I have Triple Negative breast cancer) I’ve been told I will have a tour of the chemotherapy suite and chat, the appointment has come through but it’s on the same day as my lymph node surgery, honestly don’t think I will be able to go to it. Is this a necessary appointment? They only run them every 2 weeks.

ive also have 2 more appointments 2 days later but no idea what they are? One is for NL-procedure Clinic the other is CREVCWAG5, any idea?

I’ve tried calling but they are not open until Monday. 

Thank you for reading x

    Hi Su

    I'm sorry you have breast cancer.

    I think if you talk to the appointments desk on Monday they should be able to work out some adjustment that will enable you to visit the suite.  Obviously the surgery will probably take precedent if that is not possible.  It's probably good for your understanding to visit the suite but maybe not critical.

    At my hospital I had three appointments in different clinics at nearly the same time last Thursday but the desk were aware of this on the computer and they manipulated the times accordingly.

    Let's hope everything works out.

    Kind regards

    David

    Thanks David for replying, I have thought about it more and I think I will call my breast nurse on Monday, she’s amazing and a massive support.
