Follow my blog from the bottom up or you'll get really confused!!

The Beginning cont; Try not to take her attitude personally - I know that it is easier said than done as you are so vulnerable at this stage but staff do have bad days and it's awful when you think they are not handling you and your disease with the same kind of urgency as you are.
This journey you are about to embark on is about you and your body. Hold those reins tightly in your hands and have the courage , to choose your course freely, in your own time and change it as often as you see fit.
When you see the doctor or oncologist,there will be a multitude of questions you want to ask. Before the appointment, write them down so that you can address each and every one.
Some questions you may want to ask;
1. What kind of cancer do I have and what is it called?
2.Where is it and will I get better?
3.What does the treatment involve, how long will it take and will it hurt?
4.Will I feel ill on the treatment?
5.Will I lose my hair, will it change how I feel or behave?
6.How often do I receive treatment?
7.Where do I go for treatment, can I drive myself/
8. Do I need to change my diet?
Add any other questions you think of to your list.
