One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone tells me they are going to do something and then they don’t. It doesn’t matter if it is friends, family or a business, it jus really irates me. My Drs office changed boy appt for my treatment this week because of a miscommunication between on of their office people and myself. The thing is, I was never even told about the new appt, which was changed from the 9th to the 16th. I can not push my appt out a week as it will through my May treatment off a week and that is when I am suppose to be in Chicago with my grandson. I went into the office yesterday and did my labs, they were going to call me by their end of day and I heard nothing. So now I have to be that pain in the ass patient that has to call back in today to find out when my appointment is… I love my oncology nurses as you know, I bake them cookies every time I go in for treatment, but sometimes things fall through the cracks, I just can’t be one of those things, LOL.
Another thing while I am ranting.. It really bothers me when someone says, “I’m sorry I have just been to busy to..call/write/text.. It takes not even a minute to text and say that and it is much for courtesy than just blowing someone off and tell them that after the fact.
Ok, done ranting for the day..

Holy cow! You’re having – major trouble – with your doctor!! Just a suggestion, time to find a – new – one????
I LOVE my oncologist and my nurses and I think that is very important.. I’ll have to deal with the office.
You have a great oncology team, but it is the office personnel that is causing the hassle, which unfortunately, is not unusual for the medical profession. I hope that your next treatment date does not cause any stress right before you fly to Chicago.
I have my appointments and I will very them a couple weeks before!!!
