Oncologist Appointment

[bfost87]

Just popped in to say I’m so relieved I finally have my first Oncologist appointment tomorrow morning to start discussing treatment for my newly (May 24) diagnosed Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The waiting game is brutal.

I hope all goes well . Sending you love and prayers

Just want to wish you good luck. It seems that I'm in the waiting game as well, but for a pulmonologist appointment. I really know nothing yet, but the scans certainly don't look good. It's kinda a surreal feeling. I never would have thought I'd be in this position at just turning 40 with 3 kids. I know that sounds very entitled and really presumptuous and I don't mean it that way, but wow so many thoughts and a roller-coaster of emotions for someone who is generally not a worrier is hard to wrap my head around.

I'll be sending good thoughts your way!

Good luck. My primary care Doctor thought I had lymphoma. First Oncologist appointment, he thought I had leukemia, did 30 different tests including a bone marrow biopsy. They were both wrong, nothing. It was terrifying. Frustrating part for me is I have been seeing specialists (5 so far, with a 6th next month) because while I feel better than ever, my blood work keeps coming back funky and they can't find a reason for it.

Best of luck. Getting in to talk with someone and start your plan is the first step toward kicking cancer’s butt!

That’s rough. I hope they can find an answer for you. (((Hugs)))

Thanks. My wife is convinced there is nothing wrong with me other than I keep agreeing to have more tests done.
I did do a little self Doctoring on the Internet, which I know can be dangerous. One of the things my blood work shows is I am anemic. All the tests show no reason for it, but according to the Mayo clinic, 40% of all people who are anemic, no cause can be found, you just have to treat the anemia and give up on finding a cause.

It doesn’t sound entitled or presumptuous, I think anyone in your position would feel the same. I hope things turn put well fir you.

Thx... still waiting to get the call to make my 1st appointment with my "oncologist team." It seems unbelievable that I apparently now have an oncologist team. Good luck to all who are going through a similar experience. If nothing else this has definitely given me such a more realistic and relatable outlook on situations like this. It's such a roller-coaster of emotions. I had a rough few days, but the longer I go waiting the call is somewhat easier (out of sight out of mind,) but really I just want to get in and know what the heck we're dealing with.
