Okay, so I finally got an appointment at Fox Chase for Feb 23rd. It wasn't easy though.

I called last week and the woman that answered the phone asked me about my treatment and then told me that I couldn't make an appt unless I had a recurrence or was still in treatment.

I told her that I WAS still in treatment. She said hold on. Then she came back and said I'll call you back later.

The next morning she called and it was like talking to a different person. She gave me an appointment. When I asked her why the change, she told me she had never heard of the pills I was taking.

Sounds a bit crazy, doesn't it.

Anyway, I did get an appt and it can't come soon enough.

I saw my oncologist yesterday. I pulled out my list of questions and side effects and began to read it to her. She stopped me dead in my tracks and told me that I had no other options. That I needed to take the pills as prescribed. And that if I didn't, I would have cancer again. She told me to learn to deal with it.

Soooooo.... I guess I'd like to hear that from someone else to make me believe it.

Honestly, I really do believe it. But I don't want to.

I'd like to think I can be done with this whole thing but nope, that day is a long way off. :(

On a much lighter note. We are planning a Not A Gala here in our area. I'm thinking it might be exactly what I need to get my mind off all the negative stressors in my life. I'm looking forward to it.

If you live in the area (or don't mind traveling a bit), we'd love to have you join us if you can. :)
