Cancer Support

related breast cancer, so I know how you feel. I was a little luckier in that I had only 16 days of radiation and no chemo.

However, no matter what kind of cancer anyone has, I strongly recommend that you, or someone, keep either a PAPER LOG or an EXCEL SPREADSHEET of every visit to any specialist or treatment, complete with notes on what was said and done that day. It will be invaluable. You will never be able to remember when who did what, when you had your last MRI or bone density test, etc., unless you write it all down. Write down what your doc said that day, what test you had, what results were, etc. You would be unhappily surprised to see how little coordination there is between doctors, hospitals, testing centers, labs, etc.

It's been 5 years on for me, and I still keep the spreadsheet so I know what to do next.
