The annual visit to the oncologist.

I get nervous every year when I have my annual check up with my oncologist, we had to wait an hour but saying that I have been in that waiting room for 3 hours before now, so I suppose we must not grumble! The other consultant who was doing a clinic at the same time was running 2 hours late, so I think it was the best option! The tablets I am taking, hormones, affect my arthritis and have started up lots of new pains, my shoulders, feet and hands are painful now, whereas I didn`t get much problem with them before. As these tablets can cause a problem with bone density I have to have a scan to make sure my bones are okay so I am awaiting the appointment, I just hope it does not turn out to be an MRI scan, I am claustrophobic and the idea of being pushed into the tunnel fills me with dread! Other than that the doctor gave me a clean bill of health and said I would be seen again in a years time, so hopefully the bone density scan will be fine.
