I heard from one of my doctors today and I have an appointment scheduled in person on Friday with him followed up by a scan. I am assuming that I am going to get a tattoo to help mark to help line up radiology. Over the last couple of days I have been feeling quite…
Advocacy from doctors and yourself makes such a big difference. I am lucky that I have people advocating for me within the healthcare system and that they do not mind me reaching out with questions. I am supposed to hear back from my oncologist today on what we are planning on doing, but there has…
