After our local vet visit, I got a call from the oncologist
office confirming Arri’s appointment for tomorrow. I let her know they should be getting a fax
with the blood test results. She said
they already received them but she did not think they had been reviewed
yet. I asked that they review them and
call me yet today with the results, explaining that in the morning will be too
late based on what time I need to leave to arrive at our appointment.
I didn’t think they were going to call but at 5:30, the
phone rang. The tech said one of Arri’s
numbers was low and she did not think the Dr would want to do chemo
tomorrow. The Dr was gone for the day so
I could ask no questions. Or I should say, I wasn’t going to get many
answers. I told the tech the tumors are growing and I
felt a lump higher up on the leg. Do I
keep the appointment or reschedule?
This brought up an interesting schedule issue. The tech wasn’t sure what was going to happen
but she would talk to the Dr in the morning.
I pointed out that if they wanted Arri to come in, I had to know by 9:30
in order to make our 12:00 appointment.
I can only say my blood pressure went up in frustration when she said
the oncologist won’t be in until 10:00. She
did make a note to talk to the surgeon right away in the morning and call me
before 9:30.
