seven months after surgery
Hi Everyone,
Have not been in touch for couple of months.Great to see so many familiar names still posting.I have appointment with oncologist end of the week, my first since I started on Letrozole. Apart from stiffness in both hands every morning I have no great problems with it. Night sweats have lessened, especially since I realised they inevitably follow after a few drinks. The combination of hangover, night sweats and sleeplessness is a great motivator to avoid alcohol.
I still have not got appointment to see surgeon again. Neither have I got appointment for the follow up liver scan I was told I would need 6 months after surgery as something showed up when I was scanned while in hospital.
Have other people also had these delays? Appointments come fast and furious while undergoing treatment so a delay now is a bit unexpected.
Active.
Hi Active
Glad to see things seem to be going pretty well for you - and may it continue!
I know I saw my surgeon every six months since I was diagnosed in 2011. I was told at my appointment earlier this year that I only have to go back one a year now, so that was another lovely milestone to have reached. But my appointments were made by checking into reception on the way out from meeting breast surgeon so I knew there and then when the next appointment is. It mightn't do any harm to give your Breast Nurse a ring and ask her what the story is, and if she can't help you, maybe ring the surgeons secretary to see what's happening for you.
Best of luck - continued good health x
