On Tuesday I had another very long wait for my consultation with the doctor- I was in the building for 4 hours and my appointment was about 10 minutes! However, I got chatting with quite a few other women and we had quite a raucous giggle- so much so that when I was eventually called through and complained about my wait time was told that I had been called a lot earlier (but obviously did not hear!!!). Still, it was quite jolly!
Today we still waited 2 hours for chemo, but it turned into a party as it was Julie's last session. She brought in muffins and sweets and the nurses reserved seats so four of us could be together. They made us cups of tea and we giggled through the session- a lot more fun than just watching the poison drip into my veins.
I guess there is a real camaraderie with others going through the same process, and as we are all on the same day every three weeks faces become familiar. Julie and I were trying to plot being in hospital together for our surgery- which would be a hoot, but not sure how possible it would be.
One more chemo to go -WHOOPEE!!- so, in four weeks time I should be over the worst of the horrible side effects. Then just surgery and radiotherapy to follow!!!
