Waiting to Hear

Hello all, I am now waiting to hear from a surgeon and that makes me feel better knowing though I am not sure why this is happening now and not from the start, must just want to see first. I am still at cancer clinic so things will be quicker there. My goodness I just heard how long MRI's are taking outside of the Cancer Clinic in General Public and it is over 15 months for none emergency. That is scary if they believe like they did with me that I didn't have cancer and don't press as emergency. How is early detection possible I am beginning to wonder. Thank God for the our Cancer facilities. |

Where are you living that it takes so long to get testing done? They waited a month to do a CT Scan on my wife and I thought that was too long. They weren't concerned it was cancer and thought she had costochondritis because her blood work was perfect--and still is even with a huge tumor on her liver. I just knew, down deep, that something was wrong with her health. She normally loves exercise and last summer she just stopped going to the gym. It set off warning bells in my head but I just figured she was working a lot and tired. The wait there is just terrifying to me, especially if the folks that are waiting have aggressive cancers. I guess I should be thankful that we have good insurance and live in a place where the doctors are pretty damned responsive.
I'm glad you have cancer facilities too!! Hopefully, they can get this testing done, figure out what is wrong, and get you back on the road to recovery. Please let us know what the surgeon says. After all you've been through I realize that this must be a really stressful time for you and your partner. I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this again. I'm here for you and praying for you and your partner.
