hi harker, i can totally relate. i have been diagnosed with salivary duct carcinoma and since have had surgery to remove it. i have to wait 6 weeks but i am supposed to start radiation and chemo dec 2. i've got so many appts already my head is swimming. i live 2 hours away from the treatment area. before i left the last time, appts had been made but then someone came along and reschedualed the appts without even asking me if it would work for me, some of them being 730 am. i called the number listed to discuss the appts and kept getting transfered from one phone to another being long distance i finally hung up. i'ts not like i have all the money in the world to spend on phone calls and i am working on finding an affordable place to stay. i also have to be mindful of my father who is helping me with transportation and fit in with his scheduale. i am just so frustrated, i just wish someone would ask me what i would like for a change rather than have everything dictated to me. i don't want to be all negative, the care when i am there has been ecellent but i am so overwhelmed by it all. i feel pretty good right now but nervous about what side effects i might have later. thanks for listening to me rant also. take care ...
