Oncologist

Meeting this morning with the oncologist at 11am then treatment of avastin at 1pm. It's madness when you look forward to a hospital appointment but it's a change of scenery9

Good makes me feel "normal"

I don't mind going in either it gives me a reason to get out of my tracksuit & dress up a little for a change . I also look forward to the delicious scones. 😜 It's crazy how it's the simplest things during these very strange times that bring us happiness !

How correct and true you are especially about getting dressed up

I understand how you feel. I got quite excited recently going for a blood test at our local hospital after shielding for several weeks, a chance to go out somewhere

I accidentally clicked reply before finishing my post. I was excited about going out for a blood test, then very disappointed that my onc appointment was changed to a telephone appointment, because it meant I was still stuck at home, waiting for a call, instead of driving to Cambridge. Di

I'm the same! I am quite excited at the thought of going for a scan on Friday and - even more exciting - it's at a DIFFERENT hospital in a different town. How lucky am I?! However, today after my blood test I did buy - wearing my mask - a hot chocolate and cake from the completely deserted hospital cafe, then drove to a pretty and completely deserted nearby cemetery and sat on a bench to have them while watching the birds. Then I popped into work - four storey building completely empty apart from the reception staff - kept about 12 feet from them - but so nice to see different people. First time I had been anywhere apart from Hospitals since mid April. Despite the precautions, it did feel really odd being outside and being "normal" but really brightened my day.

Have a lovely day

I always feel safe and understood when I visit the hospital, I know exactly what you mean.

Good luck with Avastin. I had 22 cycles and it definitely did it’s job xx
