The post-anaesthetic fog is finally lifting. Geez, it’s been heavy this time, I’ve really felt like a zombie. I can’t blame too much pain relief because all I’ve been taking is Panadol and Nurofen.
Despite my less-than-clear mindset, I’ve been doing a lot of reading on Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma, radiation and tamoxifen.
It’s…well, disturbing! Google has changed the world, but some of the posts/forums are just downright scary. I’ll put my professional hat on again and stick to the trusted .org or .gov.au, evidence-based facts rather than commentary. Everyone’s different.
I expect my list of questions for Dr D, the Radiation Oncologist and Medical Oncologist won’t please them – but their job is not about making people happy – it’s about keeping them alive.
I’m looking forward to seeing him. Everything changed three weeks ago. I wonder if he ever thought that would or could happen. It has been pretty full on. I’m glad I have the confidence and comfort in my ‘team’, it would be a truly awful situation if I didn’t.
