sorry to hear your mom had such a long wait
chemo is bad enough!! I think I would have left if I had to wait that long. You are right that the system need s to be fixed Asap. That is the only drawback to the centers is the long wait for blood draws scans .seeing the drs and chemo all in one day. Makes for a very long and tireing day. Glad your mom is home now . Take the whole ativan..what the heck, you need to rest too...val -

If you don't already have one, I would ask the doctor for a handicap parking hang tag for your car so that your sweet momma doesn't have to walk long distances from the parking lot when she goes out.
Hoping all goes well eventually. -
Lisa,
I too have to wait,
Lisa,
I too have to wait, wait, wait..............don't understand why they schedule so many women in one day.
My onc/gyn is super, but they do get way behind. After examination you do go into his office to go over everything and he does spend whatever time is needed. The appointments get backed up.
I have a 2 hour drive one way, so makes for a very long day.
Another thing that seems to make the visits longer is having to put everything into the computer now. The computer is in the vitals room (meet with nurse), in the exam room and then in the doctor's office.
Technology sometimes does not make things easier or faster!!
Take care,
Libby
