I had my monthly Chemo care shot yesterday. Took just shy of an hour from arrival to getting the shot. Never took this long before.
The check in clerk asked me if this was my first time – NO!
The nurse said the same and then, several times, used the same explanation of why it took so long. Each time my frustration increased.
Not my first time, I fully understand the process and being spoken down to is wrong. Nurse apologized often but would have been much better if she had just left it at that.
Well I feel better having vented but hope my sending them a note on how to improve is takes seriously and implemented.
Hoping for better times for everyone.

I am a retired Controls Engineer, Teacher and Code Officer. While in teaching I worked with students in crisis. This taught me to listen.
Before all that I had Testicular Cancer in 1975 . In both cases I had radiation but for the Prostate it was much more detailed, sophisticated, and focal.
My initial Prostate Cancer, Gleason 9 aggressive, treatment included Radiation and Hormone therapy. I am now on my third round of treatments. Yes the Cancer has returned but no spreading so far. PET scans, bone scans, MRI and lots of xrays under my belt.
Along the way I wrote a book about my Cancer experience, titled the same as this Blog.
I need to share my thoughts on Cancer and life in general.
Life is too precious to spend it angry, in pain, with fear, and doubts.
All I am trying to do is help others with Cancer be better.
