I ALWAYS LIKE to start by saying a funny thing happened to me on the way to the doctors...but have to change to a funny thing happened to me as ALWAYS..... while with the doctor.
Yesterday I had an appointment for a Pet-Tac...I am used to this by now and no, it does not hurt at all...although the thought of being full of chemo from ten days ago and now my poor body bombarded with tiny atoms does not a happy bunny make.
I first spoke with the doctor who likes to keep a record of all his patients and as he peered at me over his spectacles said 'AH yes I remember you well'....Not so well it would seem when question number one arose...'Which breast'' he asked...Niether,' I replied..........puzzlement filled his face and there was silence in the room. 'BUT you have a diagnosis of breast cancer'.....'yes' I replied....'BUT not in the breast.'..bafflement ....as I once again had to explain. 'Yes I have breast cancer but NOT in the breast...stomach and colon and now spread to an area behind the bladder called the PERINEAL'.... once more a very strange place for advanced breast cancer to spread...or as in my case, perhaps not.
'Mmmmm do you by any chance know your treatment?' asked the bemused doctor......'MYOCET' I replied ....'AND are you on any treatment or medication?'......'Yes 'I replied, 'chemotherapy' ????....Myocet is a chemotherapy for treating women with advanced breast cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!
These moments of leaving the medical profession lost for words and with a muddled brain reminds me of how it must have felt when blonde bombshell MARILYN MONROE.....left the room .
