Saw the oncologist today, "Dr. B."
Had anticipated that treatment of some kind would be starting, that was the indication from the radiation oncologist last week, anyway. Either Tamoxifen or chemotherapy, probably Tamoxifen to start and see how that goes.
That's not quite what happened, though. Basically Dr. B. wants to do another scan of the chest before starting the therapy. He seemed to think that this would happen sometime in December... but when we objected to this timeframe (!) he agreed to have it done sooner, like in the next two weeks it seems. Dr. B. did say that Pam was looking very well though.
We're getting a little frustrated with the process. However we are looking forward to the next scan in a short while and starting a treatment.
Love, P.

Good for you guys for standing up to the doctor and getting an earlier date for the scan! I am surprised that they are not starting treatment earlier, but I will take it as a good sign that the doctor feels comfortable delaying it a bit.
