Today's Journal
This morning I had to be at the Cancer Center for 9:30. My appointment was for 10:00, but it was actually 10:30 by the time I was taken to an examination room and handed a gown.
I had filled out the "Your Symptoms Matter" form online, so when the nurse came in she asked me about how I feel and about my anxiety and stress levels. So I explained to her what's going on with Dennis and said that was the reason my anxiety levels were so high.
I told her we were waiting to hear from the oncology department for Dennis. The nurse said that my medical oncologist, Dr Vandermeer, does lung cancer treatments and is one of the best. She said she was going to make a note on my chart and at the desk to look for Dennis's name under "incoming patients". She said they don't have it yet but she will keep an eye out for it and she will request that Dennis get Dr Vandermeer.
When the oncologist came in and spoke to me she also said she would keep an eye out for Dennis's name, and told me he would be having treatment in St Catharines, that he would not have to go to Juravinski in Hamilton. Apparently all lung surgeries are done in Hamilton, but because Dennis will likely be having chemo and radiation he would be having the treatments here. That was a huge relief to my ears. Having to go to another city for treatment adds an extra thick layer of anxiety.
Anyway, my scans are all clear. She's happy with the mammogram, the physical exam and my blood work, etc.
So we are still waiting but I feel we are one step closer to getting treatment for Dennis.
