So sorry you have to wait so long. Is this common with medical care in Australia or is it because you have a difficult case? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 I think I have a difficult case plus I started out in a rural hospital with limited testing abilities The specialists here are sure I have lymphoma and said they are just waiting for confirmation. They have already done the medical checks needed to start chemo the day of diagnosis if it is lymphoma. 19 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Plus catching covid in hospital slowed down the biopsy. I couldn't have it done while positive 10 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I feel so bad about all of this, @Melissa in Australia. I'm glad they have treatment ready to go if their diagnosis is confirmed and hope they get you feeling better very soon. I'm sorry about all you have been through. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Sleep well and I hope your Tuesday goes as well as possible and gets the answers needed to get you on a successful treatment plan--one that starts immediately. My sister is an AML survivor. She was just so sick and weak leading up to diagnosis. I travelled to see her when she was in the hospital for chemo, but I think it was just her first week there. She was only a few days into chemo, but she already felt great. So much better than before treatment started. I'm hoping you get a similar bounce soon. 27 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Melissa in Australia Posted August 22, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2023 Surgery went well. Large samples were taken I get the full body jerks from anaesthesia, a rare reaction (Happens nearly every time) . Which both the anaesthetist and I know is harmless but always gets the recovery nurse very wide eyed and panic, especially as it takes me around 2 hours to come out of it completely. 58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
