What a complete waste of time!!

 With  Ian having such a low blood count and his ALT liver function test higher then normal, the Consultant told us to make sure we requested an appointment with him instead of his registrar. This we dutifully did and after a 15 minute wait was shown into a room. There a nurse came to see him, took his weight and asked the usual questions on how did he feel. Then she dropped the bombshell.  Our Consultant was away at another hospital in a meeting. We looked at each other in disbelieve. The registrar was the one going to see us instead. As my heading states, what a complete waste of time. He couldn't answer any of our questions, didn't even seem to know about the blood and liver test results. In fact Ian had to tell the registrar what was going on!!! In the end Ian was examined to see if his liver was enlarged, which it wasn't, and the registrar said he was fairly convinced that the abnormal reading was due to the chemo drugs he was on. As to what we are to do about continuing the treatment he couldn't tell us and assured Ian that our consultant would phone him tomorrow to discuss it with him. So we again wait and see!! I expect to post yet another update very soon.

Thankyou to everyone that has left a comment on my last post. Both of us are overwhelmed by all of your kind thoughts and well wishes. Thankyou again.
