I had aan appointment with my Oncologist tomorrow. His nurse called this morning and he will be out of town . Now I am rescheduled for the 9th of March. It seems I live inside a revolving door without an entrance or exit.

I feel for you Jim. Like Teresa said "it's hard enough to play this waiting game". Hope your oncologist has one really good excuse for cancelling on you. He'll have the entire OCF board hunting him down otherwise.
One day that revolving door will stop for all of us Jim and hopefully we won't be too dizzy when we finally get out. Take care xoxo

A month seems to be a long time to have to wait. I do hope all goes well.
