Hello again, again and again! Seems I posted 3 times, so sorry. My sister seems to have been messed around in the system. She was sent along to her second appt at the hospital only to find no one knew why she was ther eand could not confirm her diagnosis, she got teary so they told her to come back the next week and they would make sure someone saw her, so she did but only one of the Chemo/Radio team was available when she arrived, again she was told to come back again the following week! All this uncertainty and unknown is making it hard for my sister to 'hold it together', as she just told me. I feel so useless. Thank you. |

That's not too cool that they weren't ready to see your sister when she had an appointment and all. I remember when I first went in to see my radiation guy, he wasn't ready either. We almost switched hospitals right then and there - but when I met with my oncologist later that same day, he was great.
Is your sister going to a reputable hospital? Do you know if they've had experience with anal cancer before?
'Come back the following week' - she was told that twice?!?!? Not too cool. No wonder she was teary.
If you'd like to post the general location of where your sister lives, there might be someone on this forum who can recommend a good hospital/doctor.

I agree with Rose. If you can give us your sister's general location, perhaps someone will know of a good facility and/or treatment team that can help her without all of these delays. That's ridiculous how she's has been treated.
