I am still waiting for surgery to be scheduled! It’s been 11 days since my visit to the surgical oncologist office. Yesterday morning I spoke with the surgery scheduler who told me I would know the surgery date by end of day. I never heard back so sent a message via my patient portal to the PA practically begging to find out what’s going on. I have always been my own best advocate but this has me beyond frustrated. This is a large hospital, Shands, in north Florida.
The hardest part, other than waiting for a surgery date, is the not knowing where this cancer originated… the breast, the liver or a lymphoma so I don’t even know where to focus reading on treatment types.
It has been 5 months since all this started down the path of finding out an answer with tests, biopsies, etc. Has anyone else had it take so long to get a definitive answer? I almost wish I had not gone to the ER for a stomach bug back in April which is how all this started. I am so tired of this uncertainty.
Thanks for any impute.
