Going back to see Dr D is not a stressful time for me, I explained to him at my most recent appointment I feel safe there. (I have from day one, as Leanne called to reassure me they had the films ready for Dr D to look at prior to my first appointment.)
Still we have some pretty big (and small!) issues to discuss.
Here’s the list from my last appointment (in no particular order);
- Work
- Examination
- Ongoing tests including MRI & ultrasound
- Pain/mobility
- Fitness/exercise
- Bras
- Nipple reconstruction
- Oestrogen
- Ovarian Cancer risk/hysterectomy
- Lymphodema
- Genetic testing
After discussing all that, he said “well, let’s see you again in six months”
My goodness! What a strange sense of bewilderment came over me.
Happy – but lost. Difficult to explain.
As I went to leave, Andrea told me there was another lady who had read an article about me in the press and there were some similarities in our cases. She asked if I’d be happy to speak with her. Of course! Something useful must come from this experience. I only hope, that it can help someone else.
