why is it taking so long for me to see a doctor??

I know what you mean about waiting so long to see doctors.  I was diagnosed in January, surgery in March.  I had a 2.5cm tumor in my right breast.  I elected for a lumpectomy in which the surgeon took very wide margins when removed (I told him if the path came back without completely clear margins I would have killed him!) and unfortunately 2 involved lymph nodes so full dissection was done too.  Developed an infection at the tumor site so chemo was delayed until April--I've had one chemo treatment so far and am scheduled for my next one Monday.  It's weird, waiting between treatments.  I don't have many side effects so far except for occasional nausea and the beginning of hair loss.  I felt like I was catching a cold but instead cold sores popped out on my mouth and lymph node swellings on my neck.  That made me feel like the tx is abandoning me and now I wonder if the chemo is helping or not.  This morning I am thinking more clearly and I think that it is but am very tired because sleep totally avoided me.  Walking this road is very scary and I wonder how people manage to lead lives after bc and not be totally freaked out with every discovery of a new bump or sore throat.  I hope I do better than last night.  Another unsettling discovery was a nongranulated lesion in one of my lung lobes.  I have to get another ct in July to check the status of that--of which I have not told my friends or son.  Not ready to deal with them of this.  I keep thinking is this the way it's going to be for me?  Guess I'm not in a good place today either.  I think I will start cleaning.  That I can do!!  Oh well...  I wish you much luck and love,  Ranee
