    How horrible for you, and you too Rising.

    It is doubly exhausting when you're already unwell and stressed out by the whole situation. I hope both of you take the time to unwind from the stress of it all and don't let it beat you down.

    Yep you will be you had a few busy days recently, good luck with the appointment and bloods
  • Glad you got a good sleep Taxi you must've needed it (and not surprisingly really with all the stress of everything).

    Hope appt / bloods go well today & will be thinking about you tomorrow


    Just to add another bad communication saga .... got home yesterday to find a letter from the hospital stating I'd missed my Infusion on 3 Jan & a new appt had been made for me on the 22nd

    Except, I wasn't due on 3rd Jan - my next one's not until 7th Feb

    Phoned & was told everything had "got a bit mixed up over Christmas and we're not quite sure what's happened" - they did have me in the diary for the 3rd ... another appt had been made for the 22nd .... and also have me in on 7th Feb too! Oh my!

    Oh blimey, Rising, that really takes the cake ... certainly sounds like the NHS has so many systems going, they do stuff like this at the drop of a hat.

    Taxi, glad you got some sleep, and I hope its enabled you to get out a bit before the really cold weather strikes.

    Next friday scan followed by Taxol
    Friday after Taxol/Avastin
    Then one more Avastin which he said was week after must be wrong as that is fortnightly
    When scan is done friday there will be a meeting the following friday and appt week after to discuss results/treatment
