Jules having to wait 3 months for biopsy results, is abhorrent. You are right, there is no way round things now healthwise; you must fight your corner, or you are left to procrastinate for further weeks and months. I feel sure it is pretty much the same everywhere sadly.
Northerngirl, I do hope you are getting through each day the best you can; the waiting is spectacularly rubbish. I am thinking of you.
As for me, struggling to be honest. The oncologist wants me to "crack" on with the industrial strength daily dose of drugs and whilst I am finding it nigh on impossible to "crack" on, what choice do I actually have?
Depleted of hormones, now on hormone blockers, coughing for England, feeling sick day and night, fatigued from life and having to contemplate returning to work soon. In truth, I need a new job, probably in solitary confinement with a toilet close by!
Now is not the time to be reflecting on all the stupid life decisions I made, many years ago, which have not allowed me to even contemplate taking any kind of early retirement. Somehow, I need to find a job which pays equal or more. That is next weeks task!
I feel now, I am so much wiser and in tune with the life decisions and how making poor ones, can deeply impact quality of life later on.
Or, is that we do what we think is right at the time because we can't see into the future?
I don't know, but I am off for a walk!
