Nov. is not my lucky month!


this monday i had my regular follow up check. when the doc touched my left armpit, she stopped and pressed and pressed ...i felt the pain immediately!


she cant tell exactly what s that but make an untrasound appointment for me. although she emphasized not to worry too much, i know the tricks of these doctors - always say nice things unitl the bad news confirms!


can you believe it？！ i finish my treatement in less than half a year and it comes again??!!


Now, again, i am in the worst part of all this - waiting!


Does this crap ever end?! Seriously?!

    EmmaL: So sorry you are going through such a worrying time. It's true - waiting is the worst part - and I hope you get some answers soon. It's natural our first thoughts go to cancer, but try not to assume the worst. There are many things that can cause pain on exertion or pressure. When will your U/S be?

    Thank you, Luah


    after two days torturing, i still have not heard the hospital yet.


    just now, i called the specialist nurse she remembers my case and my doc ... quote..."not concerned". Gosh, I haven't slept well for 2 days, then she told me the appointment haven't done yet! anyway, she would push the department and book an appointment for me soon.


    what s your response if you have a doc who is NOT concerned your case, crying or smiling?

    Hello Emmal


    I was sorry to read that you are having such a worrying time. It is definitely not ethical to put patients through this. If it were me, I would not want to be with a doctor who is not concerned. You are the priority and you are concerned and that is what matters. If it were me, I would be asking to be changed to another doctor. You are in charge of this.


    Wishing you well.

    thanks to all of you very much!


    after hours painfully waiting, the doctor said I m fine. The pain I feel is probably from the lymph nodes near the bone. Nothing to worry... so far. I think this is the best I can expect. Thank you for your support, have a nice weekend!
