On one of the many posts I’ve read about breast cancer recovery, someone noted that a cancer tumor that isn’t aggressive “is a personal emergency, but not a medical one.”
I am still waiting for my surgery to be scheduled. I find this extremely frustrating, as there’s so much to arrange once the surgery date is known. But it’s not actually putting my health in jeopardy. Don’t worry.
I’ve called, and with no official news, I did learn that the first time all the doctors were available at the same time was not going to work, because there were no Operating Rooms available. So they are working to find the next possible date for the doctors, and will try again. The one data point I got from this conversation was that the date that didn’t work was 9/28.
Being the logical person that I am, I can infer that my surgery won’t be until sometime in October, and I’ll make my peace with that over the long weekend. Right now, it’s creating a churning mix of frustration and anxiety, but I’ll work through it. 🙂
