An intense day
Today has been a little intense.
I had a long and interesting appointment with my oncologist. I was pleasantly surprised to be seen by the oncologist that first assisted with my diagnosis in December. He has been off the scene after I was handed over to the clinical trial. He has been lurking in the background but I was not aware. Now that this is approaching the end with only 2 cycles to go he is back in the front office!
He is such a good Dr.
We had a very long consult. At times it was not at all easy but it’s all part of the journey. We are better for having him back as part of the team. He gets me and what I am facing and communicates in manner that is appropriate for my personality. He also has great empathy for Petra and the range of other issues we face as a family.
I then had an appointment in the afternoon with a psychologist who is part of the overall approach to care. This was also intense but worthwhile. I was feeling a little smashed by the end of the day so I booked a massage for an hour. That was perfect.
Early to bed.
