It's soooo frustrating.....

Mom went to the Dr. yesterday.....the appointment where she is to find out who, what, where, when on this breast cancer thing......when she got there the Dr. said.."You're not supposed to come see me until AFTER the surgery......why are you here?" EERRRRR! I mean ...what the...! The second Dr.'s office sent her to the wrong place...........better start from the beginning.

Last Monday Mom calls and tells me she has breast cancer...the mammo, ultrasound and biopsy are already done and it's come out malignant. OK... what are the normal feelings? Fear, fear, fear, fear and then acceptance....OK ...so now what....her Dr. says she has faxed over all the records to the Oncologist Dr.'s office and they will call tomorrow (last Tuesday the 14th) to make an appointment...nothing, no call. She calls their office the next morning (Wednesday 15th) and they don't know a darned thing about her! ARRRGHHHHH......getting testy here.......they call that afternoon and say....see Dr. so and so on Tuesday (22nd).........ok, a week away but what can you do........she goes for the appointment and it's the wrong Dr.! He was very nice about it and did talk to Mom about some things, but this is NOT looking very good for the medical profession as to their organizational skills. So she calls her "Leg" Dr. and he calls a surgeon's office and gets her in on Thursday (tomorrow 24th) 2:30. So.... now we wait a bit longer. I mean Mom is OK with all this....at least she says so and her voice doesn't have that -what am I going to do- quiver, so she's doing OK. But the question "why me" came up......why is it anyone? Why does it have to be? Now this... along with all her other health problems. My gosh it's getting funny now in a morbid sort of way.

I have a theory....I believe that "they" have a cure for cancer, but, it would put too many people out of work in this country..... the resarchers, pharmacutical companies, hosptials, Dr.'s, etc. You see where I'm going with this....Government hides alot of things for the general public. Too bad.... we could really benefit and spend our monies in a better way if they would bring that cure out of hiding.

I'll step off the soap box now.......... Thanks for letting me vent.
