Well, I am still waiting for chemo and the frustration levels are rising!!! I am struggling to maintain a calm placid outlook on life!! For goodness sake… I am only human!!
On Monday I received news that the drug had only be shipped out the previous Friday so all going well I would receive chemo Wed 11th. Well, yesterday I had a number of telephone calls. The first one anticipated the drug to arrive by 13h00 and asked if I could be a the clinic at that time – after some deliberation with my diary I said I would be there a little later than one, but I would come thru. The alternative option was to wait until Monday as my oncologist would not be at the office today and tomorrow (and they have to be on site in case you have any reactions to the drug). Well, by 13h30 I still had not received the call that the drug had arrived. Waited and then phoned the clinic myself asking if I could as least have all the tests on Wed and then chemo Thurs (today) – this was later agreed to as my original oncologist Dr L said she would be on site. I was home only about 30 minutes when the phone rang… I would not be getting chemo until the trial company had proof that the medicine was transported at the correct temperature. So this morning I deliberated with going to the office or working from home. I decided on the latter and by this afternoon still don’t have news whether chemo will occur this week. I did tell the clinic this afternoon that early next week would not be so easy for me to change my work schedule and they accepted that.
The port has settled – just a bit uncomfortable.
