Today Steve and I met with my family doctor to ask some questions and get clarification on terms used in the pathology report from the surgery. I went with binder in hand and it proved to be useful; my family doctor hadn't yet received the pathology report. One of the questions we asked was about the wait time until my appointment with the medical oncologist…should we look at trying to get an earlier appointment in Toronto? She explained that although we could pursue getting an appointment in Toronto, it wasn’t necessary. When you consider that the tumor was likely there for 5 to 8 years, waiting a few weeks to see the oncologist isn’t really concerning. The unfortunate reality of it all is that I can not get in earlier because of the sheer number of people also waiting to be treated.
For those of you who didn’t get an opportunity to see the CBC program on Marketplace: Chasing the Cancer Answer, it is going to be on again this Sunday at 7pm. After the initial airing the CBC received over 2,000 e-mails regarding the program. They said that the average response after a show is 30 e-mails. Since the last airing, The Canadian Cancer Society has provided a response to the show on their Web site.
All for now,
me

Hi Kim,
Just checking in to see how things are going. You mentioned you were having some guilty feelings about “playing hooky” from work? Take the advice everyone gave me … Rest and pace yourself. Work will always be there. (Trust me, I just got back this week and it’s all still there!). As for a routine, I am free Fridays. You know where to find me.
Cheers,
Carla
