Happiness is:
-feeling loved
-being accepted
-successful at work, etc. etc.
We all have things that make us 'happy'. And here I am happy and almost delirious about my choice of an oncologist. This matter simply drove me crazy, and I spent many hours trying to come to a change of oncologists, and to dare take another. I basically am afraid to venture onto new things, but do when I must. Anyways, thank G. for my choice. I found Dr. Cherney so caring, thorough, empathetic, calming. The fact that he too had had cancer and chemotherapy helped me realize he really knows what one goes through. The nurses were wonderful. I took a swine flu shot now before I start the chemo. The nurses invited me to have a guided explanation if I wished before I start the treatments, which is exactly what I need.
Next week, I am to take a heart test. The team of 6 oncologists will sit together next week to discuss my personal case, as well as others. He will study my particular needs (in the area of receptors-which I can't explain), and he will tell me about 2 different ways of chemo-for he and I to discuss and decide. Where I fit in to decide is beyond me, but it is reassuring that he will ask my opinion. I asked all kinds of questions like nausea, genetic testing (which I will do shortly for my family members to have). All in all, I went home reassured and still dreading what's coming, but resigned that it most likely can give me extra years when it kills remaining remnants.
Amazing that happiness can be about such a topic like chemotherapy, but choosing a right guide is so very important to me.
Good luck to any reader-I give thanks every moment of the day for each positive step along the way.
Thanks always to my wonderful supporters and concerned friends and family.
